We study radiation convective fluid flow with chemical reaction. The dimensionless governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. The effects of velocity, temperature and concentration are studied for different parameters such as Grashof number, chemical reaction number, Prandtl number, Mass Grashof number and Radiative parameter. It is observed that the velocity increases with increasing Grashof number Gr, Magnetohydrodynamic number M, Perturbation parameter Ɛ and Frequency of oscillation ɷ while temperature decreases with increasing Frequency of oscillation ɷ, Radiative parameter k1 and Chemical reaction number K. Also the increase of Parameter F and Chemical reaction number K decreases the concentration. The skin friction number tends to increase with the increase of material parameters ɷ, Ɛ, Gc, Gr, and M and decreases with increasing t, k1, F, Pr and K. Similarly the Nusselt number decreases with increase material parameters ɷ, Ɛ and Pr and increases with t, k1 and M. Sherwood number increases with some parameters such as ɷ, t, and K and decreases on increasing dimensionless parameters Ɛ and F.
