This paper deals with the numerical investigation of simultaneous heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible and radiating fluid along a vertical channel in a porous medium. The non-linear equations governing the flow for heat and mass transfer are solved by using a very efficient numerical scheme of Runge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth fifth (RK5-45) order method. The values of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, rate of heat and mass transfer are found for different parameters involved in the formulation via magnetic, suction and slip parameters. It was found that the magnetic field and suction parameters have prominent effects on fluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics for the considered configuration.

Abstract
This paper deals with the numerical investigation of simultaneous heat and mass transfer flow of a viscous, incompressible and radiating fluid along a vertical channel in a porous medium. The non-linear equations governing the flow for heat and mass transfer are solved by using a very efficient numerical scheme of Runge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth fifth (RK5-45) order method. The values of velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, rate of heat and mass transfer are found for different parameters involved in the formulation via magnetic, suction and slip parameters. It was found that the magnetic field and suction parameters have prominent effects on fluid flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics for the considered configuration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
