This article analyses the thermal decomposition in an unsteady MHD mixed convection flow of a reactive, electrically conducting Casson fluid within a vertical channel filled with a saturated porous medium and the influence of the temperature dependent properties on the flow. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible with the viscosity coefficient varying exponentially with temperature. The flow is subjected to an externally applied uniform magnetic field. The exothermic chemical kinetics inherent in the flow system give rise to heat dissipation. A technique based on a semi-discretization finite difference scheme and the shooting method is applied to solve the dimensionless governing equations. The effects of the temperature dependent viscosity, the magnetic field and other important parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles, the wall shear stress and the wall heat transfer rate are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively and qualitatively. The fluid flow model revealed flow characteristics that have profound ramifications including the increased heat transfer enhancement attributes of the reactive temperature dependent viscosity Casson fluid flow.

This study comprehensively explores the generalized form of two-dimensional peristaltic motions of incompressible fluid through temperature-dependent physical properties in a non-symmetric channel. Generation of entropy in the system, carrying Joule heat and Lorentz force is also examined. Viscous dissipation is not ignored, for viewing in-depth, effects of heat transmission and entropy production. The modeling of equations is tracked first in fixed and then in wave frame. The resultant set of coupled non-linear equations are solved numerically by utilizing NDSolve in Mathematica. Comparison between NDSolve and the numerical results obtained through bvp4c MATLAB is made for the validation of our numerical codes. The attained results are found to be in excellent agreement. The impact of control parameters on the velocity profiles, pressure gradient, heat transfer, streamlines and entropy production are studied and discussed graphically. It is witnessed that entropy production and heat transfer are increased significantly subject to the enhancement of Hartman number, Brinkman number and electrical conductivity parameter. Hence, choosing appropriate values of physical parameters, performance and efficiency of flow structure and system can be improved. The results reported provide a virtuous insight into bio energy systems providing a useful standard for experimental and extra progressive computational multiphysics simulations.
