Abstract
A new chemical reaction model comprising both heat and mass transfer expressions simultaneously is introduced in this communication. Rheological relations of Maxwell fluid model are utilized in the mathematical modeling. Flow caused here is in the region of stagnation point due to a variable sheet. It is supposed that the homogeneous process in the ambient liquid is governed by the first order kinetics whereas the heterogeneous processes on the wall surface are given through isothermal cubic autocatalator kinetics. Appropriate transformations are implemented to achieve the nonlinear differential systems. Intervals of convergence for the obtained series solutions are explicitly determined. Characteristics of influential variables on the physical quantities are interpreted. Our analysis reveals that velocity distribution is decreasing function of larger Deborah number.
