AB - Homotopic solutions for Jeffrey material in frames of buoyancy forces are constructed in this research. The improved Fourier-Fick laws are considered for formulation. In addition, variable liquid aspects (thermal conductivity, mass diffusiv¬ity) along with heat source are accounted. Prandtl’s boundary-layer idea is utilized to model the problem. Involvement of similarity variables resulted into non-linear system of coupled equations. The well-known homotopic scheme is employed for non-linear analysis. Besides, a comprehensive discussion is reported for arising dimensionless variables vs. significant profiles. Our results indicate a rise in thermal and solutal fields when variable conductivity and mass diffusivity parameters are increased.
