The impact of Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model for the MHD flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid on a stretching plate with convective heating and heterogeneous-homogeneous chemical reactions were analyzed. The governing PDE’s are converted into a nonlinear ODE’s with appropriate similarity variables and it is solved using homotopy analysis method (HAM). The graphical results of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are presented(detailed). We found that the fluid velocity reduces with enhancing the injection/suction parameter. In addition, the fluid temperature boosted up when rising the Biot number and the solutal boundary layer thickness reduces both heterogeneous and homogeneous chemical reaction parameters.
