Abstract

This article explores characteristics of heat generation and Joule heating in hydromagnetic stretchable flow of Maxwell liquid subject to nonlinear thermal radiation. Porous medium effect is characterized due to the consideration of Darcy-Forchheimer relation. Mass transfer effects are discussed in presence of heterogeneous and homogeneous processes. Thermal type convective condition are accounted. Homotopy algorithm is utilized for the computation of nonlinear systems. Convergence of established solutions is explicitly ensured. Physical interpretation of emerging variables is given by graphical and tabular illustrations. It is found that temperature is improved through larger temperature ratio and heat generation parameter whereas reverse scenario is noticed for Prandtl number.
