Abstract
The MHD free convection fluid flow over a vertical porous flat plate in a rotating system is investigated numerically in the presence of radiation, chemical reaction, heat generation with Soret and Dufour effect. The governing equations of the problem contain a system of partial differential equations. An explicit finite difference technique is used to solve the obtained non-similar, coupled, non-linear partial differential non-dimensional equations. Numerical results are performed to examine the various physical parameters on the velocities, temperature and concentration within the boundary layer and shown graphically. Finally, a qualitative comparison with previous published work is shown in tabular form.
