A comparative study of chemically reacting 2D flow of Casson and Maxwell fluids

Theoretical investigation is performed to discuss the heat and mass transfer behavior of chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic Casson and Maxwell fluids past a stretching sheet with Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects with internal heat source/sink. Runge-Kutta based shooting procedure is e...
