Abstract

Thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on combined heat and mass transfer on mixed convection boundary layer flow over a stretching vertical surface in a porous medium filled with a viscoelastic fluid in the presence of magnetic field is investigated The partial differential equations governing the problem have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations which are solved numerically by using the shooting method with sixth-order of Runge-Kutta technique which are compared with Homotopy Adomian s Decomposition Method HAM for special case when magnetic field parameter is zero For fluids of medium molecular weight H2 air profiles of the dimensionless velocity temperature and concentration distributions are shown graphically for various values of parameters embedded in the flow model Finally numerical values of physical quantities such as the local skin friction coefficient the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are presented in tabular form
