: In this paper we examine the combined effects of Chemical reaction and Viscous Dissipation effects on MHD free convective Rivlin-Ericksen fluid flow past a semi-infinite stationary vertical porous plate with radiation absorption. The flow was unsteady and restricted to the laminar domain. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically by using multiple regular perturbation law. The effects of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are presented graphically. With the aid of these, the expression for the skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number profiles was done with the help of tables. It was found that an increases in chemical reaction, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, thermal radiation, leads to decrease in both velocity and temperature. However an increase in both chemical reactions, Schmidt number, leads to decreases in concentration. And also an increase in porous medium, solutal Grashof number and Radiation parameter leads to increases in both velocity and temperature.
