Computational analysis of magnetohydrodynamic Casson and Maxwell flows over a stretching sheet with cross diffusion

This paper reports the magnetohydrodynamic chemically reacting Casson and Maxwell fluids past a stretching sheet with cross diffusion, non-uniform heat source/sink, thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects. Numerical results are obtained by employing the R-K based shooting method. Effects of perti...
