The partial differential equations are reduced to coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations, which are then solved numerically using spectral local linearization and spectral relaxation methods. The effects of different parameters, Lewis number, Eckert number, stretching, chemical reaction, local Reynolds number, Prandtl number, constant, heat source, Brownian motion, and Thermophoresis are analysed and compared. The numerical results for velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, concentration, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number are presented in tabular form and visualized graphically. The findings of the spectral local linearization and spectral relaxation methods are very similar to the bvp4c method’s results. When compared to the spectral relaxation method, the results from the spectral local linearization method were more effective. We found that the velocity profile are increased with increasing values of the Grashof number (Gr). Since Grashof number (Gr) is ratio of buoyancy to viscous forces in the boundary layer it causes an increase in the buoyancy forces relative to the viscous forces which influence the velocity in the boundary layer region. An increase in the heat source/sink parameter (S) results in the increase in velocity and temperature, but a decrease in concentration. The concentration diffusion species were reduced due to the heat source/sink parameter (S). The results also show that heat generation increases the momentum and thermal boundary layer thickness while decreasing the nanofluid concentration boundary layer thickness.
