The effect of multiple slip on a chemically reactive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) non-Newtonian power law fluid flow over a stretching sheet with microorganism was numerically investigated. The governing partial differential equations were transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the similarity transformations developed by Lie group analysis. The reduced governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations were then numerically solved using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method. Good agreement was found between the present numerical solutions with the existing published results to support the validity and the accuracy of the numerical computations. The influences of the velocity, thermal, mass and microorganism slips, the magnetic field parameter and the chemical reaction parameter on the dimensionless velocity, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction, microorganism concentration, the distribution of the density of motile microorganisms have been illustrated graphically. The effects of the governing parameters on the physical quantities, namely, the local heat transfer rate, the local mass transfer rate and the local microorganism transfer rate were analyzed and discussed.
