Abstract

A simple model of homogeneous-heterogeneous process for Maxwell fluid flow in stagnationregion past a stretched surface is constructed. It is assumed that the homogeneousprocess in the ambient fluid is governing by first-order kinetics and the heterogeneousprocess on the wall surface is given by isothermal cubic autocatalator kinetics. Flow bystretched surface with homogeneous-heterogeneous processes studied. Present problemis reduced to ordinary differential equations through appropriate transformation. Resultingproblems have been solved for convergent solutions. Intervals of convergence for theobtained series solutions are explicitly determined. Behavior of important variables onthe physical quantities is analyzed. Velocity is found decreasing function of Deborahnumber.
