dc.description.abstractIn this paper, the boundary layer equations for the flow of a chemically reacting fluid over a stretching sheet in the presence of a magnetic field and uniform heat source is solved numerically using the most efficient numerical shooting technique with fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm. The basic equations governing the flow in the form of partial differential equations have been reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying similarity transformations. The effects of various physical parameters such as Chandrasekhar number, Prandtl number, uniform heat source/sink parameter, Schmidt number, Eckert number and the chemical reaction parameter as well as the heat transfer coefficient are tabulated and plotted in figures. Our results reveal that both magnetic field and uniform heat source have significant impact in controlling the rate of heat and mass transfer in the boundary layer region.en_US
