The effects of radiation and chemical reactions, in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, on free convective flow and mass transfer of an optically dense viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid past a vertical isothermal cone surface are investigated. The nonlinear boundary-layer equations with the boundary conditions are transferred by a similarity transformation into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the appropriate boundary conditions. Furthermore, the similarity equations are solved numerically by using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta scheme with the shooting method. Numerical results for the skin-friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number are given; as well, the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are presented for a Prandtl number of 0.7, the chemical-reaction parameter, the order of the reaction, the radiation parameter, the Schmidt number, the magnetic parameter, and the surface temperature parameter.
