Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of viscous fluid by curved stretching surface is presented in this paper. Heat and mass transfer analysis is studied with double stratification and thermal radiation effects. Joule heating is also taken into consideration. Basic equations of flow problem are obtained using curvilinear coordinates. The partial differential equations are reduced to the nonlinear ordinary differential equations using suitable transformations. Graphical results are shown and analyzed for the effect of different parameters on fluid characteristics. It is noted that thermal and solutal stratification parameters have opposite effect on temperature and concentration distributions. Magnitude of pressure, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number decreases for larger curvature parameter.
