Homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and melting heat transfer effects in the MHD flow by a stretching surface with variable thickness

Abstract

This attempt addresses the effect of melting heat in the flow due to nonlinear variable thicked surface. Analysis is presented subject to homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions and stagnation point flow. Inclined character of applied magnetic field is considered. Heat generation and absorption effects are also considered to characterize the phenomenon of heat transfer. The reduced expressions through boundary layer partial differential equations are solved. Homotopic procedure is implemented to solve the arising dimensionless expressions. The physical characteristics of various parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are explored. Skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are evaluated and scrutinized through numerical data.
