Effects of MHD homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions on third grade fluid flow with Cattaneo-Christov heat flux

The present exploration discusses two dimensional incompressible third grade-fluid flow under the influence of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. Effects of magneto hydrodynamic and convective boundary condition are also taken into account. Boundary layer approach is engaged to obtain system of partial differential equations. Appropriate transformations are betrothed to transmute partial differential equations with high non-linearity to nonlinear differential equations. Renowned Homotopy Analysis method is summoned to find analytical solution of all involved distributions. Consequences of pertinent emerging parameters on related profiles are portrayed and relevant discussion is added with special focus on their physical aspects. It is observed that homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions depict conflicting behavior on Concentration distribution. It is also noted that increasing values of thermal relaxation parameter diminishes temperature field. A comparison to previous exploration is also added to validate our results.
