Abstract
This paper presents an analytical method of solution to steady two-dimensional hydromagnetic flow of a viscous incompressible, electrically conducting fluid past a semi-infinite moving permeable plate embedded in a porous medium. It is assumed that the fluid properties are constant except for the fluid viscosity which vary as an inverse linear function of temperature. The boundary layer equations are transformed in to a coupled ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformations. The resulting coupled ordinary differential equations were solved using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The combined effects of Dufour and Soret was investigated and presented graphically with controlling pertinent physical parameters.
