Abstract

On the implication of tension force, viscoelastic materials deform in accordance with viscous and elastic characterization. Dilute polymer solutions portray the examples of viscoelastic liquids and Sutterby model successfully represent it due to high degree polymerization distributions. In addition, polymer aqueous solutions behave as shear thinning and thickening liquids in response to infinite shear stress so Sutterby fluid is considered as best model to depict the features of liquids at high stress magnitude. Diverse utilities of diluted polymeric solutions are encountered in industrial, biological and technological practices, for instance, agricultural sprayers, cleansing products, clay coaters, polymerized melts and many more. So, this research communicates theoretical and computational thermal assessment of Sutterby fluid containing radiation aspects over a linearly moving sheet embedded in stratified medium which exposes the novelty of work. Moreover, the impacts of magnetic field and chemical reactions are also obliged. So, the principal objective pertains to adumbrate flow behavior of Sutterby liquid in the attendance of aforementioned physical parameters. Mathematical formulation in view of governing relations are changed into non-dimensionalized form through transformation approach. Convergent and accurate solution is accessed through renowned numerical shooting procedure along with integrated Runge-Kutta scheme. The computed results of emerged parameters on velocity, concentration and thermal fields are revealed by means of snapshots. Magnitude of associated wall drag coefficient and reduced heat and mass fluxes are explained in graphical and tabular formats. The salient outcomes are as follows. Consequence of the proposed research investigation infers that augmenting power index momentum distribution decays whereas skin friction uplifts. Furthermore, it is inferred that concentration distribution amplifies against upsurging magnitude of solutal stratification parameter while opposite nature is noticed in case of temperature profile against associated stratification parameter. Additionally, it is concluded that escalating magnitude of radiation parameter tends to elevates the dimensionless temperature profile. Subsequently, rise in concentration profile against Schmidt number is observed whereas against Prandtl number temperature of fluid expressing declining aptitude. Also, declining response in momentum of fluid is manifested against Reynold and Deborah numbers.
