Abstract
In this paper, we study the numerical approach of MHD Casson fluid flow over a permeable stretching sheet with heat and mass transfer taking into cognizance the various parameters present. A set of suitable local similarity transformations are used to non-dimensionalize the governing equations of the present problem. The system of ordinary differential equations are solved numerically by MATLAB bvp4c solver. The effect of the involved parameters on Velocity, Temperature, and Concentration, Skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number has been studied and numerical results are presented graphically and in tabular form. The numerical results are in good agreement with those of the results previously published in the literature.
Keywords: Casson fluid, chemical reaction, MHD, radiation, non-newtonian fluid, heat and mass transfer
