This paper examines the steady flow due to a rotating disk with variable thickness. Equations are modelled by considering the homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions and variable thermal conductivity. Themodified Von Karman transformations are utilised to convert the governing partial differential equations into dimensionless nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions are computed. The impactof relevant parameters on flow fields is computed and interpreted. It is predicted that an increase in disk thickness index decreases the axial velocity while increases the radial and tangential velocities. The Nusselt number enhances by increasing the thickness parameter of a disk.

The main focus in this study is to study the flow of a viscous fluid through a curved stretched surface. Soret and Dufour effects along with Joule heating are incorporated. Appropriate transformations yield the nonlinear ordinary differential system. Convergent series solutions of velocity, temperature and concentration are constructed. Graphical illustrations thoroughly demonstrate the features of the involved pertinent parameters. Skin friction coefficient, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also obtained and discussed graphically. Current computations reveal that the radial velocity experience decline with the increase of Hartman number. Further, fluid temperature declines for higher Prandtl and Soret numbers.
