Abstract

In this manuscript thermal diffusion and radiation effects on magneto-Casson fluid flow past a vertical porous plate with chemical reaction is studied. The non-dimensional governing equations for momentum, energy and concentration equations have been solved by using perturbation techniques. The expressions for skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are also obtained. The effects of various physical parameters like chemical reaction parameter, Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, Soret number, Schmidt number, Grashof number, Prandtl number, and modified Grashof number have been discussed in detailed through graphs and tables.
