Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow past a wedge with the influence of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction has been analyzed in the present study. This model used for the momentum, temperature and concentration fields. The principal governing equations is based on the velocity in a nanofluid and with a parallel free stream velocity and surface temperature and concentration. The governing nonlinear boundary layer equations for momentum, thermal energy and concentration are transformed to a system of nonlinear ordinary coupled differential equations by using suitable similarity transformation with fitting boundary conditions. The transmuted model is shown to be controlled by a number of thermo-physical parameters, viz. the magnetic parameter, buoyancy parameter, radiation conduction parameter, heat generation parameter, Porosity parameter, Dufour number, Prandtl number, Lewis number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, chemical reaction parameter and pressure gradient parameter. Numerical elucidations are obtained with the legendary Nactsheim-Swigert shooting technique together with RungeKutta six order iteration schemes.

Summary
It is well accepted fact that the terms magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), thermal radiation and heat generation extensively appear in various engineering processes. Khan et al [3,4] studied about Heat Generation, Thermal Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effects on MHD Mixed Convection Flow over an Unsteady Stretching Permeable Surface and MHD Boundary Layer Radiative, Heat Generating and Chemical Reacting Flow Past a Wedge Moving in a Nanofluid. Khan and Pop [23,24] studied boundary layer heat-mass transfer free convection flows in porous media of a nanofluid past a stretched sheet. M. Wahiduzzaman[25] discussed about Viscous Dissipation and Radiation Effects on MHD Boundary Layer Flow of a Nanofluid Past a Rotating Stretching Sheet. This study finds the effect of thermal radiation, heat generation and chemical reaction on themagneto hydrodynamic convection flow past a wedge moving in a nanofluid. The present study is applicable to the manufacturing of magnetic nanofluids and chemical engineering operations involving electro-conductive nano fluid suspensions.There are relatively few studies [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37] focused on the MHD, convection, radiative heat transfer, heat generation and nanofluid addressed application for further research
