In the present paper, a theoretical investigation of a time dependent Newtonian fluid flow model in the presence of thermal radiation and uniform magnetic field is carried out by taking into account the impacts of thermal radiation, heat and mass transfer. The governing equations are obtained for a two dimensional boundary layer flow. In addition, the heat transfer characteristics for flow field over a surface have been explored within the sight of thermodiffusion (Soret) and heat generation. Our current work aims at revealing the solutions of equations describing the flow. Hereafter, the leading non-linear momentum and energy equations are rendered into a set of simultaneous ordinary differential equations via the non-dimensional variables with associated boundary conditions. The behavior of fluid variables with the effects of different physical parameters is computed by using Mathematica software. The quantity estimates are presented through graphs and discussed in detail. The present results under some limiting conditions are in good agreement with the previously published work.
