This paper investigates steady-state solutions to MHD thermally radiating and reacting thermosolutal viscous flow through a channel with porous medium. The reactionis assumed to be strongly exothermic under generalized Arrhenius kinetics, neglectingthe consumption of the material. Approximate solutions are constructed for the governingnonlinear boundary value problem using WKBJ approximations. The results,which are discussed with the aid of the dimensionless parameters entering the problem,are seen to depend sensitively on the parameters
