The thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on heat and mass transfer by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection stagnation-point flow of a power-law non-Newtonian fluid towards a stretching surface in the presence of a magnetic field, thermal radiation and homogenous chemical reaction effects have been studied. A suitable set of dimensionless variables is used and similar equations governing the problem are obtained. The resulting equations have the property that they reduce to various special cases previously considered in the literature. An adequate implicit tri-diagonal finite-difference scheme is employed for the numerical solution of the obtained equations. Various comparisons with previously published work are performed and the results are found to be in excellent agreement. Representative results for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number illustrating the influence of the magnetic parameter, power-law fluid index, mixed convection parameter, concentration to thermal buoyancy ratio, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, and Dufour and Soret numbers are presented and discussed.

Relations describing the mass transfer accompanied by an irreversible first order chemical reaction are derived, based on the formerly published general theoretical concepts of interfacial mass transfer. These relations are compared with experimental results taken from literature.
