Abstract : In the present paper we investigated the heat and mass transfer in the MHD micropolar Jeffery fluid flow over stretching sheet in the presence of porous medium. By using suitable similarity transformations, we get non-linear ordinary differential equations with the help of governing partial differential equations. We used DTM method for finding the analytical solution from the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Obtained DTM solution is explored by bvp4c numerical solver built in MATLAB and effect of porosity parameter, Deborah number, magnetic field parameter, Jeffery fluid parameter etc. on velocity profile, temperature distribution, microrotation and concentration profile are explained by graphs. It is found that that as porosity parameter increases velocity decreases while increases in Prandtl number decreases the temperature profile distributions.
