Abstract

This communication explores the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of third grade fluid bounded by a stretching surface with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. Incompressible fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of constant magnetic field. Heat transfer is performed through exponential based space internal heat source, non-linear thermal radiation and convective boundary condition. Nonlinear differential systems are computed by homotopic technique. Intervals of convergence through numerical data and plots are explicitly determined. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration distributions manifesting the characteristics of various influential parameters are addressed. The skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number are also addressed. Clearly temperature is enhanced by radiation, temperature ratio and magnetic parameters.
