Abstract: The problem of free convection of heat and mass in micropolar fluid in a channel subject to cross diffusion (namely the Soret and Dufour effects) is presented. The effect of small and large Peclet numbers on the temperature and concentration profiles is determined while the effects of various parameters such as the Reynolds number, the coupling parameter and the spin gradient viscosity parameter on the fluid properties are determined and shown graphically. The study uses the homotopy analysis method to find approximate analytical series solutions for the governing system of nonlinear differential equations. The analytical results are validated using the Matlab bvp4c numerical routine.
