The intention of this communication is to explore the characteristics of Lorentz force on the fluid transport properties of a chemically reacting nanofluid with two types of geometries. Simulations have been done to investigate the controlling equations utilizing Crank-Nicolson scheme. Influence of embedded parameters such as Hartman number, heat source/sink, Brownian diffusion, chemical reaction parameter and thermophoretic diffusivity is graphically presented. Tables demonstrate the significant impact of sundry parameters on skin-friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates. The achieved results expose that the Hartman number having high influences on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics.
