Numerical solutions of the problem on flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid outside a stretching permeable cylinder are obtained with regard to suction or blowing and the Soret and Dufour effects. The Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by employing similarity transformations, and the obtained equations are solved numerically by using the shooting technique. The main purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the governing parameters, namely, the Casson, Soret, and Dufour parameters, the suction/injection parameter, and the Prandtl and Reynolds numbers, on the velocity and temperature profiles, as well as on the skin friction coefficient and temperature gradient at the surface.
