Purpose This paper aims to analyze heat and mass transfer of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) non-Newtonian fluids flow past an inclined thermally stratified porous plate using a numerical approach. Design/methodology/approach The flow equations are set up with the non-linear free convective term, thermal radiation, nanofluids and Soret–Dufour effects. Thus, the non-linear partial differential equations of the flow analysis were simplified by using similarity transformation to obtain non-linear coupled equations. The set of simplified equations are solved by using the spectral homotopy analysis method (SHAM) and the spectral relaxation method (SRM). SHAM uses the approach of Chebyshev pseudospectral alongside the homotopy analysis. The SRM uses the concept of Gauss-Seidel techniques to the linear system of equations. Findings Findings revealed that a large value of the non-linear convective parameters for both temperature and concentration increases the velocity profile. A large value of the Williamson term is detected to elevate the velocity plot, whereas the Casson parameter degenerates the velocity profile. The thermal radiation was found to elevate both velocity and temperature as its value increases. The imposed magnetic field was found to slow down the fluid velocity by originating the Lorentz force. Originality/value The novelty of this paper is to explore the heat and mass transfer effects on MHD non-Newtonian fluids flow through an inclined thermally-stratified porous medium. The model is formulated in an inclined plate and embedded in a thermally-stratified porous medium which to the best of the knowledge has not been explored before in literature. Two elegance spectral numerical techniques have been used in solving the modeled equations. Both SRM and SHAM were found to be accurate.

Explicit finite-difference method was used to obtain the solution of the system of the non-linear ordinary differential equations which transform from the non-linear partial differential equations. These equations describe the steady magneto-hydrodynamic flow of an oldroyd 8-constant non-Newtonian nano-fluid through a non-Darcy porous medium with heat and mass transfer. The induced magnetic field was taken into our consideration. The numerical formula of the velocity, the induced magnetic field, the temperature, the concentration, and the nanoparticle concentration distributions of the problem were illustrated graphically. The effect of the material parameters (α1 α2), Darcy number Da, Forchheimer number Fs, Magnetic Pressure number RH, Magnetic Prandtl number Pm, Prandtl number Pr, Radiation parameter Rn, Dufour number Nd, Brownian motion parameter Nb, Thermophoresis parameter Nt, Heat generation Q, Lewis number Le, and Sort number Ld on those formula were discussed specially in the case of pure Coutte flow (U0 = 1, d <inline-formula> <mml:math display="block"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="true">^</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> </inline-formula> /dx = 0). Also, an estimation of the global error for the numerical values of the solutions is calculated by using Zadunaisky technique.
