Abstract
The numerical study of double diffusive mixed convection boundary layer flow over a shrinking sheet are presented in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects. Shrinking velocity, wall temperature and wall concentration are assumed to have exponential function forms. Non-similarity method is applied for the governing basic equations (flow, momentum, energy and concentration equations) before they are solved numerically using bvp4c program in Matlab software. The numerical results of velocity, temperature and concentration are reported graphically for various values of suction parameter, dimensionless coordinate along the plate parameter, shrinking parameter, mixed convection parameter, buoyancy ratio parameter, Soret parameter and Dufour parameter. Since dual solutions is obtained, stability analysis is performed to select the stable solution.
