The paper presents numerical investigation of effects of pressure gradient and temperature gradient on demixing of a binary mixture of thermally and electrically conducting incompressible viscous fluids set in motion due to the rotation of a heated sphere in presence of a uniform magnetic field applied in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation. The boundary layer equations governing the motion, temperature and concentration distribution are solved numerically with MATLAB's built – in solver bvp4c. The numerical data is represented graphically and the effects of various parameters on demixing of the binary fluid mixture are discussed.
