Soret–Dufour effects on three-dimensional flow of third grade fluid

Simultaneous effects of heat and mass transfer on flow of third grade fluid between two heated porous sheets is considered. The lower sheet is shrinking in a linear manner. Soret and Dufour effects are considered to analyze the thermo-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on the flow. Series solutions for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields are developed. Effects of non-Newtonian fluid parameters, rotation parameter and the constant applied magnetic field on the temperature and concentration profiles are discussed through graphs. Three-dimensional sketches are given for the velocity profiles.
