An implicit Keller box approach for solution of MHD three-dimensional flow through a porous medium

Abstract

The present study investigates the Soret and Dufour effect on free-convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a porous medium bounded by an infinite vertical porous plate with chemical reaction and viscous dissipation is investigated with aid of Implicit Keller box and regular perturbation methods. The flow is assumed in the presence of transverse magnetic field. Characteristics of Velocity, Temperature and Concentration are obtained and graphical interpretation is made. The observation of these results reflects that velocity and thermal boundary layer thickness decrease with the increase of radiation parameter. Graphical interpretations establish a good agreement in a realistic sense.
