Effects of viscous dissipation, heat source, thermal diffusion and chemical reaction on demixing of a binary mixture of incompressible viscous electrically conducting fluids in two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow on a vertical stretching surface are investigated. The momentum, energy and concentration equations are reduced to non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by similarity transformations and are solved numerically by using MATLAB’s built in solver bvp4c. These numerical results are exhibited graphically from which it has been found that the effects of various parameters are to separate the components of the binary mixture by collecting the lighter and rarer component near the plate and throwing the heavier one away from it.
