Current paper investigates three-dimensional MHD flow among two immeasurable parallel plates. Fluid taken into consideration is viscous and incompressible. Performance of heat transfer and mass transfer has also been studied. Impression of numerous parameters such as thermal radiation, Soret, Dufour and chemical reaction parameters are taken into consideration. The nonlinear differential equations arising are altered into ordinary differential equations via suitable operations and later resolved through optimal homotopy analysis method. Behaviour of several flow parameters on velocity, temperature and mass field are revealed through graphs and tables. Higher values of magnetic parameter enhances the velocity close to the upper plate and reduces the velocity near the lower plate. The curve for the temperature field demonstrate an increasing tendency with the increasing value of radiation parameter and reverse tendency observed with Prandtl number. It is visualized that concentration reduces with rising values of Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameter. Increasing values of Dufour and Soret number depicts reverse effects on temperature and concentration profiles. Obtained results are compared with the previous published work to validate the analytical scheme.
