The problem of the boundary layer flow of MHD non-Newtonian nanofluid with heat and mass transfer through a porous medium under effect of heat generation, radiation and chemical reaction through a porous medium has been investigated. The nanofluid model includes Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. Similarity transformation are used to convert the governing non-linear partial differential equations into coupled higher order non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved numerically by using explicit-finite difference technique. The effects of various physical parameters on the stream function, temperature, concentration and nanoparticle volume fraction are discussed and depicted graphically.
