Abstract

Magnetohydrodynamic flow of Sisko liquid over a stretching surface is addressed. Stretching property of sheet is the main agent for fluid flow. Heat transfer is modelled by convective condition. Homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions are also attended. Ordinary differential systems are acquired by using proper transformations. The resulting non-linear system is solved via ND solve shooting technique. Graphs are interpreted to examine the behavior of sundry embedded parameters on temperature and concentration profiles. Also surface drag forces and heat transfer rate are inspected for the impact of numerous pertinent variables. It is revealed that increasing magnetic parameter diminishes the temperature profile. Further for higher values of homogeneous reaction parameter the surface concentration reduces. In addition the verification of present results is achieved by developing comparison with already existing work. The results are found in an excellent agreement.
