Influence of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions on MHD 3D Maxwell fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and convective boundary condition

This study examines the effect of Cattaneo Christov heat flux with heat generation absorption on three dimensional Maxwell fluid flow past a bidirectional stretched surface in the presence of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The effects of homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions with convective boundary condition are also taken into account. Analytical solution of nonlinear differential equations is obtained by employing Homotopy Analysis method. Graphical illustrations displaying effects of sundry parameters with required discussion highlighting their physical impact are also a part of this exploration. It is perceived that velocity distributions are decreasing functions of Hartmann number. Moreover, increasing values of measure of homogeneous reaction parameter reduces concentration distribution.
