Abstract : The significance of chemical reaction with activation energy and convective boundary conditions on the fluid flow via an oscillatory stretchy surface in the presence of permeable media and radiation is analyzed in this study. This inspection presents Fourier and Fick's laws-based equations for heat, mass transport, and liquid flow through an oscillating stretchy sheet. Understanding these dynamics aids in the optimisation of catalytic reaction settings, where gradients greatly influence reaction rates in concentration and temperature. The governing differential equations of the current study are modelled and changed into their non-dimensional form by employing suitable similarity variables. The finite difference method (FDM) is also used to numerically solve the obtained dimensionless equations. The influence of many factors on the several profiles is portrayed with graphical representations. The outcome of the unsteadiness and porosity parameters on the velocity profile with time coordinate is depicted. The increase in the radiation parameter and Biot number upsurges the thermal profile. The temperature reduces as the unsteadiness parameter and temperature relaxation time parameter grow. The upsurge in the activation energy parameter intensifies the mass transport. The rise in concentration relaxation time parameter diminishes the concentration profile.
