ABSTRACT: The present study deals with MHD (magneto hydrodynamics) mixed convection flow of a Casson fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet with the effects of Soret and Dufour, thermal radiation, chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. These equations are then solved numerically by applying finite difference scheme known as the Keller Box method. The effects of various parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented graphically to interpret and the results are discussed.
