In this study, heat and mass transfer characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic nanofluid flow over a radiating nonlinear permeable stretching surface are studied. The flow considered here is under both the hydrodynamic and thermal slip conditions in presence of first-order chemical reaction. The resulting governing equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by applying a suitable similarity transformation and then solved numerically. A parametric study, of the physical parameters, is conducted and a representative set of numerical results for the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are tabulated. Graphical results for dimensionless temperature, velocity and concentration are presented and discussed in details from the physical point of view.
