Abstract
The article explains the significance of convective flow of a chemically reacting non-Newtonian fluid over a Riga plate with the presence of heat absorption/generation and double stratification. The Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass flux’s equations are utilized to frame the energy and concentration equations. The governing nonlinear boundary layer systems are altered into a couple of ordinary differential system. we employed the homotopy analysis method for obtaining the analytical solution of these resultant system. Analytical explanation of skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are calculated and described in tabular as well as graphical forms. The contributions of distinct physical flow parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are shown and reviewed. The obtained results are compared with published results in existing literature and got good agreement. We found that larger skin friction coefficient is obtained from Riga plate compared to the stationary plate. The plate shear stress is high in viscoelastic fluid compared to the second grade fluid and viscous fluid. The larger Nusselt number is occurred in second grade fluid compared to the viscoelastic fluid and viscous fluid. The mass transfer gradient rises with raising the values of the chemical reaction parameter with small amount of solutal stratification parameter.
