This article elucidates viscoelastic fractional fluid flow along with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. Non-integer derivatives are important for the systems having hereditary behavior as they depend on the past conditions along with the local conditions. Viscoelastic fluids keep memory of old deformations and their behavior is related to these deformations. The fractional derivatives are more adequate in predicting the characteristics of viscoelastic fluids than the ordinary derivatives. In this paper we have examined characteristics of fractional homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions with variable concentrations of both the reactant species. Flow is induced by the variable moving surface. Diffusion coefficients of reactants and auto catalyst are of comparable size. For better understanding of hereditary properties, non integer Caputo time derivatives have been incorporated in mathematical formulation of the flow regime. Unsteady motion of a magnetohydro-dynamic incompressible viscoelastic fluid is governed by highly nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. Flux conditions are imposed on the chemical species at the boundary. Governing flow equations with suitable initial and boundary conditions have been discretized using finite difference-finite element scheme. Proposed numerical scheme is flexible for the solution of non-linear flow problems. Skin friction coefficients are calculated for fractional viscoelastic model. Flow field is demonstrated for different values of involved parameters. The acquired results revealed that with the increase of fractional exponent alpha-concentration of chemical specie decreases for the final time t = root 2. It is also noted that concentration gradients of chemical specie increase with the increase of alpha at both the boundaries of flow configuration. In literature no such result exits with non integer Caputo fractional derivatives. Various viscoelastic flows particularly in chemical, plastics and polymer industries can be modeled in a similar manner. (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
