Soret and Dufour Effects on Three Dimensional Upper-Convected Maxwell Fluid with Chemical Reaction and Non-Linear Radiative Heat Flux

Abstract Three dimensional chemically reactive upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid flow over a stretching surface is considered to examine Soret and Dufour effects on heat and mass transfer. During the formulation of energy equation, non-linear radiative heat flux is considered. Similarity transformation reduces the partial differential equations of flow problem into ordinary differential equations. These non-linear differential equations are then solved by using bvp4c MATLAB built-in function. A comparison of the present results with the published work is also included. Effects of some prominent parameters such as Soret and Dufour number, chemical reaction parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number and thermal radiation on velocity, temperature and concentration are discussed graphically and numerically. A comparison with the previously published work is also included in a tabular form.
