A steady incompressible nanofluid flow past an inclined permeable plate is numerically studied, including radiation, viscous dissipation, and Soret and Dufour effects. A coupled non-linear simultaneous differential similarity equation is created by non-dimensionalizing the ruling partial differential equations. Then, nonlinear coupled equations with transformed boundary conditions are resolved by the shooting method based on the Runge-Kutta fourth-order method. The Prandtl number, Grashof number, Schmidt number, magnetic parameter, and Soret and Dufour effects are just a few of the controlling flow parameters for which computations are done. Graphs are used to illustrate how various flow factors affect momentum, energy, and concentration equations. The impacts of these variables on skin friction coefficients, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are given in tabular form. The concentration profile increases with the Soret number and the reverse trend is observed with the Dufour number. It is further noted that heat-mass transfer rate reduces in the boundary layer due to an increase in the values of Soret or a decrease in the values of Dufour.
