This article looks at the heat and mass transfer characteristics in mixed convection boundary layer flow about a linearly stretching vertical surface. An incompressible Maxwell fluid occupying the porous space takes into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations, by invoking similarity transformations. The involved nonlinear differential system is solved analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to determine the convergent series expressions of velocity, temperature, and concentration. The physical interpretation to these expressions is assigned through graphs and tables for the Nusselt number θ '(0) and the Sherwood number φ '(0). The dependence of suction parameter S, mixed convection parameter λ, Lewis number Le, Prandtl number Pr, Deborah number β , concentration buoyancy parameter N, porosity parameter γ , Dufour number Df, and Soret number Sr is seen on the flow quantities.

AbstractThe main purpose of this work is to investigate unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of Maxwell fluid over a stretching surface with nonlinear thermal radiation. Heat and mass transfer analysis is carried out in the presence of convective boundary conditions and first-order chemical reaction. A uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the direction of the fluid flow. The nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference method with quasi-linearization technique. Effects of the emerging parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration are investigated. The rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number and rate of mass transfer in terms of Sherwood number are also computed and addressed.
