Abstract

 This study focuses analytically on a steady three dimensional mixed convective hydromagnetic flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting, visco-elastic fluid past an infinite inclined porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity, incorporating Soret and Dufour effects. The expressions for the velocity, temperature field, concentration field, skin friction at the plate, Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the plate are obtained. It is seen that fluid velocity decreases under the effects of Soret number and visco-elastic parameter. Also, it is seen that skin friction increases under the effects of visco-elastic parameter whereas Soret number and Dufour number reduces the viscous drag on the plate for both Newtonian and visco-elastic cases.
