The steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) incompressible hybrid nanofluid flow and mass transfer due to porous stretching surface with quadratic velocity is investigated in the presence of mass transpiration and chemical reaction. The basic laminar boundary layer equations for momentum and mass transfer, which are non-linear partial differential equations, are converted into non-linear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. The mass equation in the presence of chemical reaction is a differential equation with variable coefficients, which is transformed to a confluent hypergeometric differential equation. The mass transfer is analyzed for two different boundary conditions of concentration field that are prescribed surface concentration (PSC) and prescribed mass flux (PMF). The asymptotic solution of concentration filed for large Schmidt number is analyzed using Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouin (WKB) method. The parameters influence the flow are suction/injection, superlinear stretching parameter, porosity, magnetic parameter, hybrid nanofluid terms, Brinkman ratio and the effect of these are analysed using graphs.

The influence of inclined magnetic field and heat and mass transfer of a hydromagnetic fluid on stretching/shrinking sheet with Stefan blowing effects and radiation has been investigated. The elementary viscous equations for momentum, heat and mass transfer, which are highly nonlinear partial differential equations, are mapped into highly nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help of similarity transformation. The subsequent highly nonlinear differential equation is solved analytically. The exact solution of heat and mass transfer appearances is found in terms of the incomplete gamma function. The species and temperature boundary conditions are assumed to be a linear function of the distance from the origin. Further, the impact of various parameters, such as Chandrasekhar number, thermal radiation, inclined Lorentz force and mass transpiration on velocity and temperature summaries, are conferred in detail.
