Online published on 12 January, 2017.

Abstract

The Soret and Dufour effects on a steady free convection and mass transfer flow past a semi infinite flat plate with viscous dissipation in a porous medium have been studied numerically. The equation governing the flow of heat and mass transfer have been solved by Runge Kutta Gill method with shooting technique. The flow characteristics have been studied for different values of Pr, Gb, Sc, Sr and Du.
