Abstrakt: In this study, we numerically investigate the hydromagnetic three dimensional flow of a radiating Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet embedded in a porous medium with heat source/sink, first ordered chemical reaction and Soret effect. The corresponding boundary layer equations are reduced into set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformations. The resulting coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by employing boundary value problem default solver in MATLAB bvp4c package. The obtained results are presented and discussed through graphs and tables. It is noticed that the Deborah number reduces the velocity fields and improves the temperature and concentration fields.
