This research looks at the magnetohydrodynamic behaviour of a nanofluid moving in a steady laminar mixed convection boundary layer from above a non-linear stretching sheet with slip impacts. An adequate similarity transformation may be used to turn the controlling partial differential equations into nonlinear ordinary equations. The resulting equations are solved using a finite difference technique called the Keller-Box method. The effects of Soret, heat production, the radiation parameter, Dufour, the Schmidt number, and the Prandtl number are taken into account. The numerical values for local skin friction, local Nusselt number, and local Sherwood number are tabulated for a variety of physical factors. Also tabulated are these values. It is found that the new findings are in great accord with previous published research on various specific cases of the issue. The velocity of the fluid rises when the heat and mass convective parameters are increased; the concentration of the fluid is increased by increasing the Soret number; and the temperature of the fluid is enhanced by increasing the Dufour parameter.
