Abstract
In the present paper, we investigate numerically the effect of chemical reaction, and radiation on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow over non-linearly stretching surface with fluid suction. By suitable similarity transformations, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations and to solve these equations the method applied is numerical computation with bvp4c, a MATLAB program. The effects of Magnetic, Casson, Stretching index, Suction, Thermal index, Concentration index, chemical reaction and Radiation parameters, and Prandtl number and Schmidth number, on velocity, heat transfer, and concentration profiles, Skin-frictions, Nusselt Number and Sherwood Number are computed and discussed numerically and presented through tables and graphs.
Keywords: Magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow, Casson fluid, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter, suction parameter.
