In this study, an analysis has been performed for heat and mass transfer of a steady laminar boundarylayer flow of an electrically conducting fluid with radiation effect of second grade subject to suction and to a transverse uniform magnetic field past a stretching sheet. Parameters Gr, Gc, Nr, M, Sc represent the dominance of the buoyant effect, radiative effect, magnetic effect and mass transfer effect which have presented in governing equations, respectively. The similar transformation and the finite-difference method have been used to analyze the present problem.
