Abstract

This research intends to elaborate Soret-Dufour characteristics in mixed convective radiated Casson liquid flow by exponentially heated surface. Novel features of exponential space dependent heat source are introduced. Appropriate variables are implemented for conversion of partial differential frameworks into a sets of ordinary differential expressions. Homotopic scheme is employed for construction of analytic solutions. Behavior of various embedding variables on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are plotted graphically and analyzed in detail. Besides, skin friction coefficients and heat and mass transfer rates are also computed and interpreted. The results signify the pronounced characteristics of temperature corresponding to convective and radiation variables. Concentration bears opposite response for Soret and Dufour variables.
