The paper examines solution for a two-dimensional steady, viscous, heat dissipation, incompressible hydro-magnetic free convective flow past a uniformly moving vertical porous plate immersed in a porous material in the presence of the Soret effect, Dofour effect and Chemical reaction. A constant magnetic field is directed into the fluid area perpendicular to the plate. The MATLAB built-in bvp4c solver approach is used to solve the governing non-dimensional equations. The discussion of the current issue focuses mostly on the impacts of thermal diffusion, magnetic field, thermal radiation, Grashof number, Soret number, Dufour number, and chemical reaction. It is observed that the Soret number improves fluid temperature. In addition, the fluid's temperature, concentration, and velocity all drop as the magnetic field parameter rises. Although the heat dissipation caused by the medium's porosity is usually disregarded in convective MHD flow simulations, it is considered in this work.
