| Summary: | An analysis has been developed to study the convective heat and mass transfer of a visco-elastic fluid flow over a continuously moving vertical surface with uniform suction in the presence of chemical reaction and heat generation. The flow is subjected to a transverse uniform magnetic field. The governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically. The effects of various physical parameters, like chemical reaction parameter, heat generation parameter, visco-elastic parameter, and magnetic parameter, on various momentum, heat, and mass transfer characteristics are discussed in detail, and shown graphically. The present visco-elastic fluid model works to suggest rheological liquids encountered in biotechnology (medical creams) and chemical engineering.
