  • Abstract
    In this article, we investigate the double diffusive flow of a viscoelastic fluid on a stretching paper with convective boundary condition under the in fluence of thermal-difusion and difusion-thermo efects, thermal radiation, internal heat generation or absorption, chemical reaction, and thermal radiation. The governing boundary layer equations are analytically solved by using Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Variations of the velocity, concentration, and temperature profles for diferent values of physical parameters are graphically displayed and discussed. Numerical results of the local Sherwood number and the local Nusselt number are also tabulated. It is observed that the local Nusselt number increases on increasing the radiation parameter. The local Sherwood number increases on increasing the chemical reaction parameter.
