AB - In this paper we study the flow of an incompressible Erying-Powell fluid  bounded by a linear stretching surface. The mass transfer analysis in the  presence of destructive /generative chemical reactions is also analyzed. A  similarity transformation is used to transform the governing partial  differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Computations for  dimensionless velocity and concentration fields are performed by an efficient  approach namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and numerical solution is  obtained by shooting technique along with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration  scheme. Graphical results are prepared to illustrate the details of flow and  mass transfer characteristics and their dependence upon the physical  parameters. The values for gradient of mass transfer are also evaluated and  analyzed. A comparison of the present solutions with published results in the  literature is performed and the results are found to be in excellent  agreement.
