Abstract

MHD fluid flow is examined over a vertical plate in the presence of Dufour and Soret effects. The governing equations are solved using perturbation technique. The velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are studied for different values of Dufour Du and Soret Sr numbers, Grashof number Gr, mass Grashof number Gc, Prandtl number Pr, Magnetic parameter M and thermal radiation conduction number K1. It is observed that the velocity increases with increase in Gc, Gc and ?. but the trend is reversed with respect to Du, Sr, Sc, M, K1, Pr, and t. it is also observed that temperature and concentration increases with decrease in Du, Sr and K1.
