Abstract: Magnetohydrodynamic axisymmetric flow of viscous nanoliquid towards a variable stretching sheet is scrutinized. Flow is generated due to nonlinear stretching. Joule heating, heat flux and dissipation are analyzed in heat expression. Random and thermophoresis diffusions are considered. Physical description of entropy generation is also accounted. Entropy generation and heat transfer analysis are scrutinized through thermodynamics laws. Furthermore chemical reaction along with Arrhenius activation energy is addressed. Ordinary differential system is obtained through suitable variables. Homotopic convergent solutions for nonlinear system is developed. Influence of flow variables on entropy rate, velocity, Bejan number, concentration and temperature are analyzed. Further velocity gradient and heat and mass transfer rates are discussed. Reduction in velocity is noticed for magnetic variable. Thermal field has an enhancing trend for magnetic and Eckert number. Larger thermophoresis variable rises the temperature. An increment in entropy rate is observed for magnetic parameter. An increment in drag force is seen for magnetic variable.
