Abstract

Abstract:

This letter describes the characteristics of homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction in the boundary layer flow of a Jeffrey fluid due to an impermeable horizontal stretching sheet. An analysis is carried out through the similar values of reactant and auto catalyst diffusion coefficients. Heat released by the reaction is not accounted. The exact solution for the flow of the Jeffrey fluid is constructed. The series solution for the concentration equation is derived. The velocity and concentration fields reflecting the impact of interesting parameters are plotted and examined.

Key words: stretching sheet, homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction, Jeffrey fluid
