The homotopy analysis method (HAM) with two auxiliary parameters is employed to examine heat and mass transfer in a steadytwo-dimensional magneto hydrodynamic viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching vertical surface by considering Soret and Dufoureffects The two-dimensional boundary-layer governing partial differential equations are derived by considering the Boussinesqapproximation The highly nonlinear ordinary differential forms of momentum energy and concentration equations are obtainedby similarity transformation These equations are solved analytically in the presence of buoyancy force The effects of differentinvolved parameters such as magnetic field parameter Prandtl number buoyancy parameter Soret number Dufour number andLewis number on velocity temperature and concentration profiles are plotted and discussed The effect of the second auxiliaryparameter is also illustrated Results show that the effect of increasing Soret number or decreasingDufour number tends to decreasethe velocity and temperature profiles (increase in Sr cools the fluid and reduces the temperature) while enhancing the concentrationdistribution
1 Introduction
The analysis of the flow field in a boundary-layer near astretching sheet is an important part in fluid dynamics andheat transfer This type of flow occurs in a number of engi-neering processes such as extrusion of plastic sheets polymerprocessing and metallurgy [1 2]
Some researchers neglect the Dufour and Soret effects onheat and mass transfer according to Fourierrsquos and Fickrsquos laws[3] however when density differences exist in the flowregime these effects are important and cannot be neglected[4] Afify [5] has shown that when heat and mass transferoccurred in a moving fluid the energy flux can be generated
by a composition gradient namely the Dufour or diffusion-thermo effect and the mass fluxes developed by the tem-perature gradients are called the Soret or thermal-diffusioneffect In their numerical study they have used the Soret andDufour effects of a steady flow due to a rotating disk in thepresence of viscous dissipation and ohmic heating Heat andmass transfer with hydrodynamic slip over a moving platein porous media was investigated by Hamad et al [6] viaRunge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method The heattransfer of mixed convection of vertically moving surface inan ambient stagnant fluid was reported by Ali and Al-Yousef[7 8] and the effect of variable viscosity of mixed convectionwas studied by Ali [9]

Das et al [10] considered the effect of heat and masstransfer on a free convective flow of an incompressibleelectrically conducting fluid past a vertical porous plate Chen[11] employed finite difference method in order to studythe heat and mass transfer in MHD free convective flowwith ohmic heating and viscous dissipation Noor et al [12]examined the MHD flow over an inclined surface with heatsourcesink effects by shooting method Abreu et al [13]solved the boundary-layer flow with Dufour and Soret effectsin both forced and natural convection The effects of thermalradiation and first order chemical reaction on unsteadyMHD convective flow past a semiinfinite vertical plate underoscillatory suction and heat source in slip-flow regime weretaken into account by Pal and Talukdar [14] Gbadeyan et al[15] studied heat and mass transfer of a mixed convectionboundary-layer flow considering porous medium over astretching vertical surface A vertical plate in a non-Darcyporous medium was selected to investigate the thermodif-fusion and diffusion-thermo effects numerically using theKeller-box method by Prasad et al [16] Pal and Mondal [17ndash19] analyzed the effects of thermal diffusion and diffusionthermo on steady and unsteady MHD non-Darcy flow overa stretching sheet in a porous medium considering thermalradiation nonuniform heat sourcesink variable viscosityviscous dissipation and first order chemical reaction usingRunge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration method Mansour et al[20] analyzed the effects of chemical reaction and thermalstratification over a vertical stretching surface in a porousmedium by Runge-Kutta scheme with considering Soret andDufour numbers Beg et al [21] used Keller-box implicitmethod to analyze the heat and mass transfer micropolarfluid flow from an isothermal sphere with Soret and Dufoureffects Furthermore Alam et al [22] Tai and Char [23]Mahdy [24 25] Pal and Sewli [26] and Tsai and Huang [27]have studied the effect of Soret and Dufour effects in theiranalyses for different aspects of heat and mass transfer flows
One of the most effective and reliable methods in orderto solve the high nonlinear problems is the homotopy anal-ysis method Homotopy analysis method (HAM) was firstlyemployed by Liao to offer a general analytic method for non-linear problems [28 29] Rashidi et al [30] analyzed the effectof partial slip diffusion thermo and thermal diffusion onMHDfluid flow in a rotating disk via HAM and discussed theeffect of various slip parameters magnetic field parameterSchmidt number and other important variables Mustafa etal [31] considered the effects of Brownian motion and ther-mophoresis in stagnation point flow of a nanofluid towardsa stretching sheet Rashidi and Pour [32] employed HAM forunsteady boundary-layer flow and heat transfer on a stretch-ing sheet Abbas et al [33] studied themixed convection of anincompressible Maxwell fluid flow over a vertical stretchingsurface by HAM Dinarvand et al [34] employed HAM toinvestigate unsteady laminar MHD flow near forward stag-nation point of a rotating and translating sphere Hayatet al [35] illustrated the thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on two-dimensional MHD axisymmetric flowof a second grade fluid in the presence of Joule heatingand first order chemical reaction The non-linear Brinkmanequation for the stagnation-point flow was studied via HAM
by Ziabakhsh et al [36] Analytical and numerical solutionsof a radial stagnation flow over a stretching cylinder havebeen recently reported by Weidman and Ali [37] wherealigned and nonaligned flow were studied Rashidi et al [3839] employed HAM to obtain the analytical solutions overstretching and shrinking sheets in the presence of buoyancyparameter
The objective of this paper is to study the steady two-dimensional MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over a verticalstretching surface in the presence of the Soret and Dufoureffects analytically via HAMThe effects of different involvedparameters such as magnetic field parameter Prandtl num-ber buoyancy parameter Soret number Dufour numberand Lewis number on the fluid velocity temperature andconcentration distributions are plotted and discussed

To check the accuracy of the method the residual errorsof (12) are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4The residual errors arereduced whenwe use the second auxiliary parameter and thisjustifies why we use the second auxiliary parameter In Fig-ure 3 the effect of considering 120574 = 065 is to decrease theorder of residual errors than at 120574 = 1 (without the secondauxiliary parameter) in Figure 4which improves the accuracyof the HAM method The velocity profiles presented inFigure 5 show an excellent agreement between our resultsand [40]

1and 120582 are constants and not 119891(119909)
However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

One of the most effective and reliable methods in orderto solve the high nonlinear problems is the homotopy anal-ysis method Homotopy analysis method (HAM) was firstlyemployed by Liao to offer a general analytic method for non-linear problems [28 29] Rashidi et al [30] analyzed the effectof partial slip diffusion thermo and thermal diffusion onMHDfluid flow in a rotating disk via HAM and discussed theeffect of various slip parameters magnetic field parameterSchmidt number and other important variables Mustafa etal [31] considered the effects of Brownian motion and ther-mophoresis in stagnation point flow of a nanofluid towardsa stretching sheet Rashidi and Pour [32] employed HAM forunsteady boundary-layer flow and heat transfer on a stretch-ing sheet Abbas et al [33] studied themixed convection of anincompressible Maxwell fluid flow over a vertical stretchingsurface by HAM Dinarvand et al [34] employed HAM toinvestigate unsteady laminar MHD flow near forward stag-nation point of a rotating and translating sphere Hayatet al [35] illustrated the thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on two-dimensional MHD axisymmetric flowof a second grade fluid in the presence of Joule heatingand first order chemical reaction The non-linear Brinkmanequation for the stagnation-point flow was studied via HAM
by Ziabakhsh et al [36] Analytical and numerical solutionsof a radial stagnation flow over a stretching cylinder havebeen recently reported by Weidman and Ali [37] wherealigned and nonaligned flow were studied Rashidi et al [3839] employed HAM to obtain the analytical solutions overstretching and shrinking sheets in the presence of buoyancyparameter
The objective of this paper is to study the steady two-dimensional MHD viscoelastic fluid flow over a verticalstretching surface in the presence of the Soret and Dufoureffects analytically via HAMThe effects of different involvedparameters such as magnetic field parameter Prandtl num-ber buoyancy parameter Soret number Dufour numberand Lewis number on the fluid velocity temperature andconcentration distributions are plotted and discussed

this paper the suction parameter has been considered becausethe primary assumption in boundary-layer definition saysthat the boundary-layer thickness is supposed to be very thinand we are not allowed to increase it so we do not presentthe injection parameters that may lead to enlarging theboundary-layer thickness and contravening the boundary-layer assumption presented by Prandtl in 1904

To check the accuracy of the method the residual errorsof (12) are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4The residual errors arereduced whenwe use the second auxiliary parameter and thisjustifies why we use the second auxiliary parameter In Fig-ure 3 the effect of considering 120574 = 065 is to decrease theorder of residual errors than at 120574 = 1 (without the secondauxiliary parameter) in Figure 4which improves the accuracyof the HAM method The velocity profiles presented inFigure 5 show an excellent agreement between our resultsand [40]

effects of Prandtl number on velocity temperature andconcentration distributions are illustrated in Figures 12ndash14respectively Increase in Pr leads to increase in kinematicviscosity and velocity decreases It is clearly shown that withthe increase in Pr the velocity profiles descends (Figure 12)With the increase in Prandtl number the thermal diffusiondecreases so the thermal boundary-layer becomes thinner

1and 120582 are constants and not 119891(119909)
However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

To check the accuracy of the method the residual errorsof (12) are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4The residual errors arereduced whenwe use the second auxiliary parameter and thisjustifies why we use the second auxiliary parameter In Fig-ure 3 the effect of considering 120574 = 065 is to decrease theorder of residual errors than at 120574 = 1 (without the secondauxiliary parameter) in Figure 4which improves the accuracyof the HAM method The velocity profiles presented inFigure 5 show an excellent agreement between our resultsand [40]

However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

To check the accuracy of the method the residual errorsof (12) are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4The residual errors arereduced whenwe use the second auxiliary parameter and thisjustifies why we use the second auxiliary parameter In Fig-ure 3 the effect of considering 120574 = 065 is to decrease theorder of residual errors than at 120574 = 1 (without the secondauxiliary parameter) in Figure 4which improves the accuracyof the HAM method The velocity profiles presented inFigure 5 show an excellent agreement between our resultsand [40]

effects of Prandtl number on velocity temperature andconcentration distributions are illustrated in Figures 12ndash14respectively Increase in Pr leads to increase in kinematicviscosity and velocity decreases It is clearly shown that withthe increase in Pr the velocity profiles descends (Figure 12)With the increase in Prandtl number the thermal diffusiondecreases so the thermal boundary-layer becomes thinner

decreasing the value of Pr and it can be easily understoodthat with the enhancement of Le the velocity distributionincreasesThe effect of Le on temperature profile is presentedin Figure 19 The temperature decreases with the increase inLewis number similar to the results presented by Hayat et al[41] With the increase in Le the mass diffusivity decreasesand the concentration descends (Figure 20) It should benoticed that 119899 = 1 permits complete similarity solutions ofthe equations where 119896
1and 120582 are constants and not 119891(119909)
However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

To check the accuracy of the method the residual errorsof (12) are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4The residual errors arereduced whenwe use the second auxiliary parameter and thisjustifies why we use the second auxiliary parameter In Fig-ure 3 the effect of considering 120574 = 065 is to decrease theorder of residual errors than at 120574 = 1 (without the secondauxiliary parameter) in Figure 4which improves the accuracyof the HAM method The velocity profiles presented inFigure 5 show an excellent agreement between our resultsand [40]

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive

decreasing the value of Pr and it can be easily understoodthat with the enhancement of Le the velocity distributionincreasesThe effect of Le on temperature profile is presentedin Figure 19 The temperature decreases with the increase inLewis number similar to the results presented by Hayat et al[41] With the increase in Le the mass diffusivity decreasesand the concentration descends (Figure 20) It should benoticed that 119899 = 1 permits complete similarity solutions ofthe equations where 119896
1and 120582 are constants and not 119891(119909)
However in this problem 1198961must be constant and 119899 is selected
equal to 05 in order to reach the local similarity solution
5 Conclusion
In the present investigation an analysis is carried out in orderto study the steady magneto hydrodynamic incompressibleviscoelastic fluid flowover a stretching surface in the presenceof the Soret andDufour effects analytically viaHAMwith twoauxiliary parameters Analytical solutions are obtained usingthe homotopy analysis method and its residual was reducedby using the second auxiliary parameter These analyticalsolutions show excellent agreement with the data available inthe literature (Figures 3ndash5) The effect of Mn is to decreasethe velocity while increasing the thermal boundary-layerTheeffect of increasing the buoyancy parameter is to reduce boththe thermal and concentration boundary-layer thicknessesThe effect of increasing Sr or decreasingDu tends to decreasesthe velocity and temperature profiles while enhancing theconcentration distribution The temperature profiles are notsensitive to increasing Le however the concentration profilesare very sensitive
