Dynamic interaction of thermal radiation and chemically reactive MHD flow of rheological material invoking heat source

MHD consideration has significance in thermoelectric power energy, polymer extrusion, MHD generators, polymeric solutions, cable coating, refrigeration equipment, filament spinning, thermal storage and metallurgy. Such consideration has utilization in dialysis machines and other medical devices as well as treatment for hyperthermia. In view of such consideration the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) radiative Reiner-Rivlin material flow is addressed. Flow generated is by curved stretching sheet. Energy relation comprises heat generation and thermal radiation. Chemically reactive flow of first order is accounted. Nonlinear ordinary differential expressions are developed involving adequate transformations. Governing problems are computed numerically. Features of liquid flow, concentration and temperature are examined. Clearly an increment in velocity through curvature variable is noticed while reverse effect seen for concentration and thermal fields. Reduction in liquid flow through magnetic field is witnessed. Higher radiation parameter correspond to temperature and Nusselt number enhancement. An improvement in temperature for heat generation variable is witnessed. Concentration decays through higher reaction parameter.
