✦ Synopsis
A theoretical study of the steady stagnation point flow over a flat stretching surface in the presence of species concentration and mass diffusion under Soret and Dufour's effects has been obtained by solving the governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration using similarity analysis and numerical technique. Results showed that the fields were influenced appreciably by the effects of exothermic or endothermic chemical reaction, stretching parameter and radiation, etc. It was evident that for some kinds of mixtures with the light and medium molecular weight, the Soret and Dufour's effects should be considered as well.

## Abstract An analysis has been carried out to obtain the thermal‐diffusion and diffusion‐thermo effects on the mixed free forced convective and mass transfer in a visco‐elastic fluid flow through a porous medium over a stretching sheet. Here, the driving force for the flow is provided by an imper
