The present investigation deals with the study of unsteady, free convective Casson fluid flow over a vertical cone saturated with porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink, high order chemical reaction and cross diffusion effects. The numerical computation for the governing equations has been performed using an implicit finite difference method of Crank-Nicolson type. The influence of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration distributions is illustrated graphically and the physical aspects are discussed in detail. Results indicate that temperature dependent heat source/sink plays a vital role on controlling the heat transfer however the surface-dependent heat source/sink also has notable influence on the heat transfer characteristics. It is to be noted that high order chemical reaction has the tendency to dilute the influence of chemical reaction parameter on the species concentration.

This study deals with the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching surface in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink, thermal radiation and Soret effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation, which are then solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. We obtained good accuracy of the present results by comparing with the exited literature. The influence of dimensionless parameters on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles along with the friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed with the help of graphs and tables. It is found that the positive values of non-uniform heat source/sink parameters acts like heat generators and helps to develop the temperature profiles of the flow.
