The steady natural convection along an inclined stretching surface in the presence of chemical reaction under thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects is studied. The governing equations for continuity, momentum, energy, and concentration are transformed by similarity transformation and then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta integration with shooting scheme. Comparisons between the present data with previously published work are performed and found to be in very good agreement with each other. The obtained results show that the flow, thermal, and diffusion fields are influenced appreciably by the effects of endothermic or exothermic chemical reaction, angle of inclination, thermal radiation, magnetic field, and Soret and Dufour numbers. The physical phenomenon can be realized from the graphical profiles and in tabular form to depict special features of the solutions.
