This article characterizes the influence of magnetic dipole in a non-Newtonian ferrofluid. The flow is caused by an incompressible stretchable cylinder. The effects of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions are taken into account. Heat flux is evaluated by the Fourier's law of heat conduction. Characteristics of pertinent parameters on magneto-thermomechanical coupling and chemical reactions are explored numerically. It is depicted that the magneto-thermomechanical interaction slows down the motion of fluid particles, thereby increases skin friction and decreasing rate of heat transfer at the surface of a cylinder. Comparison with available results for some cases is found good agreements. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. This is an open access article under the CC BY license.
