Abstract
This paper addresses three-dimensional (3D) flow of couple stress material with Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. A linear bi-directional stretchable surface is used to generate the flow. Thermal and concentration diffusions are considered by introducing Cattaneo-Christov heat and mass fluxes. Equal diffusion coefficients are considered for both auto catalyst and reactants. Boundary layer approach is used to simplify the governing system of partial differential equations. Suitable relations are used to nondimensionalize the boundary layer expressions. The valid convergent series solution are established by means of optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM). The role of various pertinent parameters on the solutions are investigated through graphs. Moreover skin friction coefficients and heat and mass transfer rates are computed and analyzed. It is observed that heat and mass transfer rates are higher for larger thermal and concentration relaxation parameters.
