Abstract

The analysis in this communication addresses the unsteady MHD flow of tangent hyperbolic liquid through a vertical plate. The model on mass and heat transport is set up with Joule heating, heat generation, viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, chemical reaction and Soret-Dufour in the form of partial differential equations (PDEs). The PDEs are simplified into a dimensionless PDEs by utilizing a suitable quantities. The simplified equations are solved by utilizing the spectral relaxation method (SRM). The outcomes shows that increase in the Weissenberg and the magnetic field degenerates the velocity profile. The thermal radiation is found to elevate the velocity and temperature profiles as its values increases. The impact of Soret and Dufour on the flow is found to alternate each other. The computational outcomes for concentration, temperature and velocity are illustrated graphically for all encountered flow parameters. The present outcomes are compared with previous outcomes and are found to correlate.
