ABSTRACT
The problem of heat and mass transfer in a visco-elastic fluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is examined. The important physical quantities such as the skin friction coefficient, heat transfer co-efficient and the mass transfer co-efficient are determined. It is found that the heat and mass transfer distribution decreases with the increasing values of the visco-elastic parameter k1.
