This research article communicates an analytical investigation for the three-dimensional steady incompressible flow of Oldroyd-B fluid subject to stretchable surface. The flow of material induced through stretchable surface with Darcy-Forchheimer medium. Homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions is considered. Convective boundary conditions and heat source/sink effects are considered for the heat transport. Boundary layer concept is used in the development of flow problem. Series solutions are obtained of the nonlinear system through homotopy technique. Physical significance of pertinent parameters are discussed and plotted graphically. Heat transfer rate is discussed numerically.
