Impacts of constructive and destructive chemical reactions in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Jeffrey liquid due to nonlinear radially stretched surface

This investigation examines the effects of chemical reaction in the two-dimensional flow of Jeffrey liquid due to nonlinear radially stretched surface. The flow analysis is conducted under the action of applied magnetic field. Heat transfer is considered in the presence of Joule heating, heat generation/absorption and Newtonian heating. Convergent solutions to the nonlinear formulation are developed. Skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are tabulated and addressed for the various embedded parameters. It is anticipated that concentration distribution enhances via larger destructive chemical reaction parameter and reduces when generative chemical reaction parameter is enhanced. Furthermore the temperature decays for increasing nonlinear parameter of axisymmetric stretching surface. The nonlinear parameter has reverse effect for temperature and skin friction coefficient.
