The equations of continuity, momentum and energy are transformed into ordinary differential equations and solved numerically using shooting method together with generalised Thomas algorithm. The velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are discussed numerically and presented through figures. Skin-friction coefficient, the Nusselt and Sherwood number at the sheet are derived, discussed numerically and their numerical values for various values of physical parameter are presented through table.
