Abstract

A Study is presented with Soret-Dufour, Hall and radiation effects on unsteady MHD flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past an inclined porous plate immersed in porous medium. The governing equations of non-dimensional forms of flow field were solved numerically using Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference method. The results are obtained for velocity, temperature and concentration. The effects of various parameters are discussed on flow variables and are presented through graphs and tables.
