Abstract
This paper probes into the chemical reaction eects on steadyhydromagnetic ow of an incompressible viscous electricallyconducting, radiating and dissipative uid past a tilted stretchingsheet in the presence of heat source. The governing boundarylayer equations are first transformed into a non-dimensional formusing suitable similarity variables and the resulting system ofordinary dierential equations are then solved numerically usingmidpoint method with Richardson extrapolation (MMRE). Theeects of The Soret-Dufour and other governing parameters onthe ow variables are discussed quantitatively with the help ofgraphs for the velocity, temperature and concentration fields.
