Abstract
This paper addresses the effect of homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction on Williamson fluid model over a stretching cylinder. The boundary layer partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equation by using suitable transformations. The non-linear ordinary differential equations are solved by using implicit finite difference Keller box technique. The effects of several pertinent parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are deliberated graphically. The behavior of skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are examined through graphs.

This paper addresses the effect of homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction on Williamson fluid model over a stretching cylinder
Rangi et al.[3] investigated the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Newtonian fluid over a stretching cylinder. They deduced that heat transfer is enhanced by increasing the curvature parameter
Summary
Shaw et al.[11] studied the homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions in micropolar fluid in a porous medium over a stretching or shrinking sheet They concluded that by increasing the stretching/shrinking and permeability parameters, the solute concentration was enhanced. Krishnamurthy et al.[13] presented the MHD flow of Williamson nanofluid through a porous medium over a stretching sheet by taking the effects of radiation, chemical reaction and melting heat transfer. They concluded that by increasing the melting parameter the velocity profile decreases but temperature profile enhances. Comparison is made for the skin friction coefficient in the limiting case
