Semi-analytical solution of MHD free convective Jeffrey fluid flow in the presence of heat source and chemical reaction

An analysis is carried out for the steady free convective incompressible electrically conducting Jeffry fluid flow over a stretching surface. In addition, the presence of uniform heat source and first order chemical reaction enhance the heat and mass transfer properties of non-Newtonian fluid. Suitable self-similar transformations are used for the transformation of complex PDEs to nonlinear ODEs. Semi-analytical approach like Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is employed for this transformed governing equation to get approximate analytical solution. Further, the behavior of characterizing parameters is presented through graphs. The validation of the present result is obtained with an earlier established result in particular case. However, the major outcomes are; both the interaction parameter and Hartmann number favors in to enhance the velocity profiles whereas the it is interesting to see that, increasing interaction parameter for higher value of Hartmann number retards the fluid temperature but reverse effect is rendered for lower value.
