D A numerical analysis is performed for the mathematical model of boundary layer flow of nanofluids. Heat and mass transfer are analyzed for an incompressible fluid with viscous dissipations and chemical reaction past a stretching surface. An appropriate set of similarity transformations are used to transform the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is solved numerically by using Adams-Moultan method along with shooting method. Furthermore, we compared our results with the existing results for especial cases which are in an excellent agreement. The numerical values obtained for various non-dimensional physical quantities together with velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented through graphs and tables. The effects of different physical parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed in detail.
