Abstract: This study investigates heat and mass transfer of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pressure-driven flow in a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium with inclined uniform magnetic field and thermal radiation. The governing equations of the model are reduced to a system of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying a scaling group of transformations. The coupled differential equations are then solved using Weighted Residual Method (WRM) with the results compared with that obtained from shooting technique coupled with fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The obtained results are presented graphically to represent the effect various fluid parameters on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration and pressure drop. Finally, the effects of Skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers which are of physical and engineering interest are presented and discussed.
