This study describes magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Newtonian fluid flow caused by an exponentially streching sheet, and subjected to the parameters such asassisting flow and buoyancy ratio. The governing basic equations (flow, momentum, energy and concentration equations) are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using non-similarity method. Subsequently, the ODE are solved numerically by bvp4c program in Matlab software. Finally, the numerical results for the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the local Sherwood number are obtained. Moreover, the variations of the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented. The characteristis of the flow, heat and mass transfer are discussed in details.
