Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the magnetohydrodynamics mixed convection flow over an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and cross-diffusion. Adequate non-similar transformations are used to transform governing mixed convection boundary layer equations to dimensionless form. Design/methodology/approach These dimensionless partial differential equations are solved by using implicit finite difference scheme in conjunction with Quasi-linearization technique. Findings The effects of admissible parameters such as Eckert number (Ec), the ratio of buoyancy forces parameter (N), non-uniform heat source/sink, Soret and Dufour numbers on flow, temperature and concentration distributions are discussed and analysed through graphs. In addition, the results for skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number and Nusselt number are presented and discussed graphically. Originality/value In literature, no research work has been found in similar to this research paper.

In this paper, we investigate mixed convection flow over an exponentially decreasing freestream velocity in presence of nonlinear chemically reactive species and a volumetric heat source or sink. Nonsimilar transformations are used to reduce the boundary layer equations into dimensionless equations and are further solved by the implicit finite difference scheme in combination with the quasi-
