Research Abstract

The two dimensional steady laminar MHD free convection heat and mass transfer flow over a
vertical plate in an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid is examined considering the wall
temperature and concentration distribution proportional to  x utilizing the similarity transformations. The
transformed nonlinear boundary layer equations have been obtained by solving the governing equations using
numerical technique. Numerical calculations are carried out for different values of dimensionless parameters
and an analysis of the results obtained shows that the flow is influenced of magnetic parameter, mixed
convection parameter, Lewis, Dufour and Soret number in the fluid. The obtained results are presented
graphically and in tabular form.
