The more realistic three-dimensional Carreau fluid flow analysis is conducted in attendance of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity. The other salient impacts affecting the considered model are the homogeneous-heterogeneous (h-h) reactions and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The boundary conditions supporting the problem are convective heat and of h-h reactions. The considered boundary layer problem is addressed via similarity transformations to obtain the system of coupled differential equations. The numerical solutions are attained by undertaking the MATLAB built-in function bvp4c. To comprehend the consequences of assorted parameters on involved distributions, different graphs are plotted and are accompanied by requisite discussions in the light of their physical significance. To substantiate the presented results, a comparison to the already conducted problem is also given. It is envisaged that there is a close correlation between the two results. This shows that dependable results are being submitted. It is noticed that h-h reactions depict an opposite behavior versus concentration profile. Moreover, the temperature of the fluid augments for higher values of thermal conductivity parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym11050618","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,7]],"date-time":"2019-05-07T03:15:46Z","timestamp":1557198946000},"page":"618","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["MHD Boundary Layer Flow of Carreau Fluid over a Convectively Heated Bidirectional Sheet with Non-Fourier Heat Flux and Variable Thermal Conductivity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6896-172X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dianchen","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0976-6021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mutaz","family":"Mohammad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics &amp; Statistics, College of Natural and Health Sciences, Zayed University, 144543 Abu Dhabi, UAE"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ramzan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Bahria University, Islamabad Campus, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sejong University, Seoul 143-747, Korea"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Bilal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University of Lahore, Chenab Campus, Gujrat 50700, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Fares","family":"Howari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Natural and Health Sciences, Zayed University, 144543 Abu Dhabi, UAE"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1550-5143","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Suleman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"},{"name":"Department of Mathematics, COMSATS University, Islamabad 45550, Pakistan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bird, R., Byron, R., Armstrong, R.C., and Hassager, O.
