Present paper studies the thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on Casson nanofluid flow in the presence of chemical reaction with inclined magnetic field. A similarity analysis was used to transform the system of partial differential equations, together with boundary conditions into a system of dimensionless couple ordinary differential equations. A robust spectral collocation method has been adopted to obtain the solution of the transformed flow equations with corresponding boundary conditions. The impact of various controlling parameters on dimensionless velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration are presented graphically and discussed. The effect of the flow pertinent parameters on skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are presented in tabular form. Finally, an increase in Prandtl number and thermophoresis parameter reduce the temperature field of the flow, while increase in Eckert number enhanced the temperature profile.

In this paper, we will be analyzing the impact of thermal radiation and heat source on blood flow past a horizontal channel that is permeable with an applied magnetic field that is inclined at variable angles. The non-linear higher partial differential equation which is the governing equation is transformed to ordinary differential equations using non-dimensional variable to non-dimensional equations that is then solved analytically with the application of required boundary conditions for the blood flow and temperature equations which is a function of y and t. Parameters that are varied shows an effect on the blood flow and temperature profile with the presentation of results shown graphically and results clearly discussed. Observations from the research shows that when the thermal radiation increases, there will be a mixed effect in the flow of blood, increase in the magnetic field on the artery shows an increase in flow of blood while the blood flow reduces and the temperature of the blood increases when the heat source is increased. Other parameters also shows an effect on the flow of the blood.

The present research aims to examine the micropolar nanofluid flow of Casson fluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system with effects of thermal radiation. The influence of Hall current on the micropolar nanofluids have been taken into account. The fundamental leading equations are transformed to a system of nonlinear differential equations using appropriate similarity variables. An optimal and numerical tactic is used to get the solution of the problem. The convergence and comparison have been shown numerically. The impact of the Hall current, Brownian movement, and thermophoresis phenomena of Casson nanofluid have been mostly concentrated in this investigation. It is found that amassed Hall impact decreases the operative conductivity which intends to increase the velocity field. The temperature field enhances with larger values of Brownian motion thermophoresis effect. The impacts of the Skin friction coefficient, heat flux, and mass flux have been deliberate. The skin friction coefficient is observed to be larger for k=0, as compared to the case of k=0.5. Furthermore, for conception and visual demonstration, the embedded parameters have been deliberated graphically.
