Chemical Reaction and Radiation Effects on MHD Flow of Oldroyd-B Fluid through Porous Medium Past an Exponentially Stretching Sheet with Heat Sink

In this article, the effect of electromagnetic force with the chemical and thermal radiation effect on the Oldroyd-B fluid past an exponentially stretched sheet with a heat sink and porous medium was studied. The governing system of nonlinear partial differential equations has transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The system is then solved numerically using a successive linearization method. The numerical results of velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are represented graphically. Several parameters’ effects are investigated and examined. Local Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, porosity, Deborah numbers, and local Sherwood number numerical values are listed and analyzed. The results reveal that many parameters have a significant impact on the fluid flow profiles. The concentration profiles were considerably affected by the reaction rate parameter, and the concentration thickness of the boundary layer decreased as the reaction rate parameter increased. The results of the analysis were compared to the results of existing works and found to be in excellent agreement.
