Abstract: MHD Darcy-Forchheimer Slip Flow in a Porous Medium with Variable Thermo-Physical Properties was studied. The governing partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation and solved numerically. The variable and thermal conductivity were studied. Different physical parameters’ effects on temperature, velocity and concentration distribution are studied. The effects of Darcy-Forchheimer parameter, suction/blowing parameter, velocity slip and thermal slip parameter on the velocity, temperature and mass transfer rates nature are examined with the aid of graphs. Schmidt number and Soret number effect are also presented. The results shows that when the porosity parameter is increased, the velocity of the fluid decrease, while temperature profile and skin friction decreases. Also increasing the velocity slip parameter result in increase in velocity and Nusselt number whereas the concentration decreases in same case. Also the temperature at a point decreases with increase in thermal slip parameter while the skin friction decrease in both cases.
