The present paper investigates the combined effects of Soret and Dufour on free convective heat and mass transfer on the unsteady one-dimensional boundary layer flow over a vertical channel in the presence of viscous dissipation and constant suction. The governing partial differential equations are solved numerically using the implicit Crank-Nicolson method. The velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are discussed numerically and presented through graphs. Numerical values of the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number at the plate are discussed numerically for various values of physical parameters and are presented through tables. It has been observed that the velocity and temperature increase with the increase in the viscous dissipation parameter and Dufour number, while an increase in Soret number causes a reduction in temperature and a rise in the velocity and concentration.

This computational analysis explores the properties of uneven energy gain or loss on the fluid transport properties of a chemically reacting nanofluid with two types of geometries. Simulations have been done to investigate the heat and mass transfer characteristics using Crank-Nicolson scheme. Influence of active parameters such as Hartman number, heat source and sinks, Brownian diffusion, thermophoretic diffusivity, activation energy and Schmidt number is graphically presented. Tables demonstrate the significant impact of sundry parameters on skin-friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates. The achieved results expose that the activation energy parameter is having high influence on mass transfer mechanism.

The objective of the present study is to investigate the first-order chemical reaction and Soret and Dufour effects on an incompressible MHD combined free and forced convection heat and mass transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium between two parallel plates. Assume that there are a periodic injection and suction at the lower and upper plates. The nonuniform temperature and concentration of the plates are assumed to be varying periodically with time. A suitable similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then solved numerically by the quasilinearization method. The fluid flow and heat and mass transfer characteristics for various parameters are analyzed in detail and shown in the form of graphs. It is observed that the concentration of the fluid decreases whereas the temperature of the fluid enhances with the increasing of chemical reaction and Soret and Dufour parameters.

Magneto-hydrodynamic free convective heat and mass transfer of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting and chemically-reacting fluid adjacent to a vertical stretching sheet embedded in a saturated porous medium in the presence of a thermal radiation effect are investigated. The sheet is linearly stretched with uniform constant of temperature and concentration. The governing partial differential equations are transferred into a system of ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically using a fourth order Runge-Kutta scheme with the shooting method. The effects of various parameters entering into the problem have been examined on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient, and Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are presented graphically and in tabular form.
