The governing non-dimensional coupled non-linear partial differential equations have been evaluated by using an implicit finite-difference technique of Crank-Nicolson scheme. Numerical predictions for the velocity, concentration, local and average skin-friction and Sherwood number for distinct values of chemical reaction parameter and Soret number are plotted graphically. It is found that the fluid velocity and concentration decreases while increasing chemical reaction parameter whereas an increase in the Soret number increases the fluid velocity and concentration. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC. %Z cited By 3; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Fundamental and Applied Sciences: Innovative Research in Applied Sciences for a Sustainable Future, ICFAS 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:112230
