A study is performed on two-dimensional flow and diffusion of chemically reactive species of Casson fluid from an unsteady stretching surface in porous medium in the presence of a magnetic field. The boundary layer velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are numerically computed for different governing parameters. The paper intends to show unique results of a combination of heat transfer and chemical reaction in Casson fluid flow. The resulting partial differential equations are converted to a system of ordinary differential equations using the appropriate similarity transformation, which are solved by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg numerical scheme. The results in this work are validated by the comparison with other authors.

Abstract Contemporary investigation studies the silent features of the dissipative free convection couple stress fluid flow over a cylinder under the action of magnetic field, thermal radiation and porous medium with chemical reaction effect. Present two-dimensional viscous incompressible physical model is designed based on the considered flow geometry. Present physical problem gives the highly complicated nonlinear coupled partial differential equations (PDE's) which are not amenable to any of the known techniques. Thus, unconditionally stable, most accurate and speed converging with flexible finite difference implicit technique is utilized to simplify the dimensionless flow field equations. It is apparent from the current results that; the velocity profiles are diminished with enhancing values of magnetic field. Temperature profile increases with enhancing values of thermal radiation parameter. Velocity contours deviates away from the wall with enhancing magnetic parameter. Also, the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, thermal radiation, chemical reaction, buoyancy ratio parameter and Eckert number on couple stress flow velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are studied. However, the present study has good number of applications in the various fields of engineering such as; polymer processing, solidification of liquid crystals, colloidal solutions, synovial joints, geophysics, chemical engineering, astrophysics and nuclear reactors etc. Finally, the current solutions are validated with the available results in the literature review and found to be in good agreement.

This article analyses the thermal decomposition in an unsteady MHD mixed convection flow of a reactive, electrically conducting Casson fluid within a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium and the influence of the temperature dependent properties on the flow. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible with the viscosity coefficient varying exponentially with temperature. The flow is subjected to an externally applied uniform magnetic field. The exothermic chemical kinetics inherent in the flow system give rise to heat dissipation. A technique based on a semi-discretization finite difference scheme and the shooting method is applied to solve the dimensionless governing equations. The effects of the temperature dependent viscosity, the magnetic field and other important parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, the wall shear stress and the wall heat transfer rate are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively and qualitatively. The fluid flow model revealed flow characteristics that have profound ramifications including the increased heat transfer enhancement attributes of the reactive temperature dependent viscosity Casson fluid flow.
