Abstract

The aim of present attempt is to develop an analysis of flow of viscous fluid induced by nonlinear curved stretchable sheet. Concept of heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions has been utilized. Process of heat transfer is carried out through convective heating mechanism. Mathematical formulation is processed under boundary layer approximation. Arising partial differential system trimmed into nonlinear ordinary differential system by inducing suitable transformations. The resulting nonlinear system of equations has been solved and analyzed. The properties of numerous effective parameters are examined and analyze graphically. Further the physical quantities like surface drag force and local Nusselt number are computed numerically. Larger Biot number γ shows increment in temperature field however quite reverse trend on concentration field is analyzed for higher homogeneous k1 and heterogeneous k2 parameters.
