The present paper investigates the combined affects of melting phenomenon and viscous dissipation over  a steady incompressible mixed convection boundary layer fluid flow along a vertical plate. Radiation and double dispersion are also taken into consideration. Further effects of homogeneous chemical reactions of order 'n' are studied over the non-Darcy porous plate.  Continuum equations that characterize fluid flow are transformed to a set of non linear ordinary differential equations through a suitable similarity transformation and are then solved by MATLAB 'bvp4c' iterative programming method. As a matter of accuracy and validation available results are  compared with the present study as a special case.Flow characteristics of the problem are  illustrated graphically.
