摘要

The Soret and Dufour effects in the presence of chemical reaction on natural convection heat and mass transfer of a couple stress fluid in a vertical channel formed by two vertical parallel plates is presented. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using simflarily transformations. The resulting equations are then solved using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Profiles of dimen-sionless velocity, temperature and concentration are shown graphically for various values of Dufour number, Sorer number, Couple stress parameter and chemical reaction parameter.
