Steady two-dimensional free convection and mass transfer flow past a continuously moving semi-infinite vertical porous plate in a porous medium is studied theoretically, by taking into account the Dufour and Soret effects. The similarity equations of the problem considered are obtained by using usual similarity technique. The resulting equations are then solved numerically by shooting method using Runge-Kutta sixth-order integration scheme. The non-dimensional velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are displayed graphically for different values of the parameters entering into the problem. In addition, the skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in tabular form.
