This paper analyzes the chemical reaction effects on heat and mass transfer in magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow past an inclined plate with viscous dissipation and radiation in porous medium. A suitable similarity transformation is used to transform the non linear system of partial differential equations into a system of ordinary differential equations. To solve the resultant system an efficient numerical technique Runge-Kutta fourth order is used along with shooting technique. The behavior of the velocity, temperature, concentration for variations in the thermo physical parameters are presented in graphs. The values of skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherewood number are also computed and are reported in tables.
