In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the mass and heat transfer effects in a BLF through a porous medium of an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid subject to a transverse magnetic field in the existence of an external electric field, heat source/sink, and chemical reaction. It has been considered the effects of the electric field, viscous and Joule dissipations, radiation, and internal heat generation/absorption. Closed-form solutions for the boundary layer equations of viscoelastic, second-grade, and Walters’ B ′ fluid models are considered. The method of the solution includes similarity transformation. The converted equations of thermal and mass transport are calculated using the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). The solutions of the temperature field for both prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed surface heat flux (PHF) are found. It is vital to remark that the interaction of the magnetic field is found to be counterproductive in enhancing velocity and concentration distribution, whereas the presence of chemical reaction, as well as a porous matrix with moderate values of the magnetic parameter, reduces the temperature and concentration fields at all points of the flow domain.
In this article, the treatment of three-dimensional non-Newtonian Williamson fluid has been carried out under examination. Using the standard transformation, the governing equations are converted into universal similarity equations which have been solved by the optimal homotopy asymptotic method. We observed that the method is effective, reliable, consistent and efficient in solving strongly nonlinear differential equations. The influence of embedded parameters on the fluid flow has discovered graphically and using table. The velocity profile in the x-direction is increased with magnetic and electric field parameters and decreased with the increased stretching parameter, coefficient of inertia, velocity slip parameter L1 and porosity parameters. The velocity profile in the y-direction is increased with magnetic and electric field parameters, the distended stretching parameter, while reduced with the velocity slip parameter L2, coefficient of inertia, and porosity parameters. The temperature profile is increased with the radiation, thermophoresis and Brownian motion parameters, and Biot number. The profile of concentration is rising with the enlarged Biot numbers and thermophoresis parameter, while reduced with the Brownian motion parameter.
