In the Presence of Thermal Radiation, MHD Free Convective Visco-elastic Fluid Flow Past an Infinite Vertical Plate

Abstract: The unstable free convective chemical reaction is discussed in this study, along with MHD Visco-elastic fluid flow following an infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation with uniform temperature and species diffusion. The closed analytical approach is used to solve dimensionless governing partial differential equations. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature, concentration and the rate of heat and mass transfer are shown graphically for different values of physical parameters involved.
