In this paper, the natural convective heat transfer from a stretching sheet oriented vertically involving surface mass transfer is of primary focus. A similarity solution in three dimensions is described for energy and momentum. The transformed equations are answered by using MATLAB in-built numerical programmer solver bvp4c. For a range of Prandtl numbers and surface mass transfer rates, friction factor and Nusselt numbers are tabulated. The heat transfer mechanism is observed to influence surface mass transfer. Heat transfer rate increases and thermal boundary layer thickness decreases with an increase of Prandtl values. In addition, the current results are compared with the previously published results and initiate to be a successful agreement.In this paper, the natural convective heat transfer from a stretching sheet oriented vertically involving surface mass transfer is of primary focus.
