Abstract: In this paper, unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Powell-Eyring fluid in a vertical channel with diffusion thermo and thermal diffusion effects in the presence of heat source have been studied. The governing nonlinear, coupled partial differential equations are reduced to ODEs using oscillating parameter and then solved by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The influence of emerging parameters on heat and mass transfer characteristics of the flow are studied. It is found that the velocity of a Non-Newtonian fluid is found to decrease in comparison with Newtonian fluid. Also, it is observed that thermal parameters and Soret number are lead to promote the temperature of the fluid significantly. Increasing magnetic parameter tends to produce oscillating behaviour on volume flow rate whereas uniform depreciation can be noticed with increasing Schmidt number.
