Application of the nanoparticles with different non-Newtonian base fluid has huge application in the industries where the heat generation or energy transform takes place and many such applications are designing the advanced energy system at high temperature, aerodynamics, energy extraction etc. In the present study, we have analyzed irreversibility for a 3-dimensional MHD, incompressible, electrically conducting Casson nanofluid flow through the two horizontal stretching surfaces. To make it more practical and broad, the flow field has been incorporated with porosity, suction/injection, non-linear radiation with fall velocity with convective heating conditions at the boundaries and entropy generation which is an important physical phenomenon in thermodynamics. Influence of imperative parameters of the flow field and physical parameters have discussed with the entropy generation. In a limiting case, a comparison made. It is observed that the suction phenomena boost up the local Nusselt and Sherwood number at the surface while restricted the skin friction. The non-Newtonian rheology (as Casson number) restricted the skin friction and the same phenomena observed for the local heat and mass transfer. The entropy boosts up with the enhancement of the magnetic parameter, temperature ratio and Brinkman number. Further nanoparticle concentration improve the thermal conductivity leads an improvement in the efficiency of the heat transfer takes place. With the augment in thermal radiation, magnetic parameter and Brinkman number, the entropy generation of the systems gets accelerated.
