Finding the solutions for heat and mass transfer problems is significant to reveal the main physics of engineering issues. In this work, the Adomian decomposition method is chosen as a robust analytical method for the investigation of temperature and flow features in a viscous fluid that moves between two parallel surfaces. To ensure the validation of results, the outcome of the Adomian decomposition method is compared with that of the Runge-Kutta method, and reasonable agreement is observed. The comparison confirms that the Adomian decomposition method is a robust and reliable approach for solving this problem. Then, diverse parameters such as Prandtl number and squeeze number are studied. Besides, the effect of chemical reaction parameter, Eckert number, and Schmidt number are comprehensively discussed. Findings reveal that the Sherwood number rises when the chemical reaction parameter and Schmidt number increase. Also, it declines with growths of the squeeze number. Likewise, The findings confirm that the Nusselt number enhances with the rising of the Eckert number and Prandtl number, and it declines when the squeeze number increases.

The present paper was aimed to study the effects of variable thermal conductivity and heat generation on the flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field, thermal radiation, porous medium, mass transfer, and variable free stream near a stagnation point on a non-conducting stretching sheet. Equations of continuity, momentum, energy, and mass were transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using shooting method. Velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions were numerically discussed and presented in the graphs. Skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt number, and Sherwood number on the sheet were derived and discussed numerically. Their numerical values for various values of physical parameters were presented in the tables. It was found that temperature increased with increasing radiation parameter, R, and concentration decreased with increasing the Schmidt number, Sc. The numerical predications were compared with the existing information in the literature and a good agreement was obtained.

An analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional MHD mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. The parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and the expressions for velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions were obtained. Expressions for skin friction at the plate in the direction of the main flow, rate of heat transfer, and mass transfer from the plate to the fluid were derived in a non-dimensional form. Velocity, temperature, concentration, amplitudes of the perturbed parts of skin friction, rate of heat transfer, rate of mass transfer, and skin friction at the plate are presented in graphs and effects of various physical parameters like Hartmann number M, Prandtl number Pr, Reynolds number Re, Schmidt number Sc, Soret number So, Grashof number for heat transfer Gr, Grashof number for mass transfer Gm, and chemical reaction parameter Kr on the above flow quantities were analyzed and then the obtained results were physically interpreted.
