AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">A mathematical model for the steady, mixed convection heat and mass 
transfer along a semi-infinite vertical plate embedded in a micropolar 
fluid in the presence of Soret and Dufour effects is presented. The 
non-linear governing equations and their associated boundary conditions
are initially cast into dimensionless forms using local similarity
transformations. The resulting system of equations is then solved
numerically using the Keller-box method. The numerical results are
compared and found to be in good agreement with previously published
results as special cases of the present investigation. The non-dimensional
velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles are
displayed graphically for different values of coupling number, Soret
and Dufour numbers. In addition, the skin-friction coefficient, the
Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown in a tabular form.</p>
