In this article

we have considered the simultaneous influence of ohmic heating and chemical reaction on heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet. The effects of applied magnetic field are also taken into consideration while the induced magnetic field is not considered due to very small magnetics Reynolds number. The governing flow problem comprises of momentum

continuity

thermal energy and concentration equation which are transformed into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transforms

which are then

solved numerically with the help of Successive Linearization method (SLM) and Chebyshev Spectral collocation method. Numerical values of skin friction coefficient

local Nusselt number

and Sherwood number are also taken into account with the help of tables. The physical influence of the involved parameters of flow velocity

temperature and concentration distribution is discussed and demonstrated graphically. The numerical comparison is also presented with the existing published results and found that the present results are in excellent agreement which also confirms the validity of the present methodology.
