The important goal of this article is to examine the thermally stratified flow of Oldroyd-B liquid induced by a stretchy sheet. Mathematical model of physical problem is situated with radiation and chemical reaction impacts. By help of similarity transformation, PDE’s are converted into ODE’s with dimensionless variables. Homotopy technique is employed for solving nonlinear ODE’s. Graphs are represented to notify the change of flow parameters, temperature and concentration parameters. Also mass and heat transfer rates are demonstrated through graphically. We observe that Thermal stratification constant reduces the heat transfer rate. On the other hand, thermophoretic and chemical reaction constants boost up the mass transfer rate.
