Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of Soret and Dufour's MHD flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation. By a similarity transformation, the controlling partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Using the successive linearization method (SLM), the linear system is solved. A determination and discussion of the impacts of specific fluid parameters on the temperature, concentration distribution, and velocity are presented. As the magnetic field increases, we observe that the temperature and concentration profiles rise, while the velocity profile falls. In addition, increases in the Dufour and Soret levels will also result in an improvement in the temperature and concentration distribution. The validity of the acquired results is tested by comparing them to previously published works, with particular attention paid to the accuracy and convergence of the solution.
