A study on the thermophoresis and Brownian moment effects on magnetohydrodynamic flow of dissipative Casson fluid over a stretching sheet is considered. The governing equations of the flow, heat and mass transfer is transformed to ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. Numerical solutions of these equations are obtained by using shooting technique. The influence of pertinent parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles along with friction factor, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are discussed and presented through graphs and tables. It is found that the heat and mass transfer rate is high in steady flow when compared to unsteady flow.

A mathematical model has been proposed for investigating the flow, heat, and mass transfer in Williamson and Casson fluid-flow over a stretching surface. For controlling the temperature and concentration fields we considered the space and temperature dependent heat source/sink and homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions, respectively. Numerical results are carried out for this study by using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. The effects of governing parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer are illustrated graphically. Also computed the skin-friction coefficients for axial and transverse directions along with the local Nusselt number. In most of the studies, homogeneous-heterogeneous profiles were reduced into a single concentration equation by assuming equal diffusion coefficients. For the physical relevance, without any assumptions we studied the individual behavior of the homogeneous-heterogeneous profiles. It is found that the rate of heat and mass transfer in Casson fluid is significantly large while equated with the heat and mass transfer rate of Williamson fluid.

In this study, we investigated the 2D MHD flow of a dissipative Maxwell nanofluid past an elongated sheet with uneven heat source/sink, Brownian moment and thermophoresis effects. The flow governing PDEs are transmuted into nonlinear ODEs adopting the suitable similarity transmissions. Further, the RK-4 technique is employed to acquire the numerical solutions. The impact of pertinent parameters such as thermal radiation, frictional heating, irregular heat source/sink, biot number, Brownian moment and thermophoresis on the flow quantities such as velocity, thermal and concentration fields likewise friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are bestowed with the succour of graphs and tables. Dual nature is witnessed for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid cases. It is noticed that the heat and mass transfer rate in Newtonian fluid larger as compared with non-Newtonian fluid.

In the current paper, the peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian fluid obeying a Casson model with heat and mass transfer inside a vertical circular cylinder is studied. The considered system is affected by a strong horizontal uniform magnetic field together with the heat radiation and the Hall current. The problem is modulated mathematically by a system of PDE that describe the basic behavior of the fluid motion. The boundary value problem is analytically solved with the appropriate boundary conditions in accordance with the special case, in the absence of the Eckert number. The solutions are obtained in terms of the modified Bessel function of the first kind. Again, in the general case, the system is solved by means of the homotopy perturbation and then numerically through the Runge-Kutta Merson with a shooting technique. A comparison is done between these two methods. Therefore, the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions are obtained. A set of diagrams are plotted to illustrate the influence of the various physical parameters in the forgoing distributions. Finally, the trapping phenomenon is also discussed.

The boundary layer heat and mass transfer flow of Casson nanofluid over a stretching sheet with constant wall temperature (CWT) under the magnetic field and thermal radiation effects is investigated numerically. Using similarity transformations, the governing equations are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These equations are solved numerically by Shooting method. The effects of Casson parameter, magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Brownian parameter and thermophoresis parameter on velocity, temperature and concentration fields are shown graphically and discussed. The results show that increase in Casson parameter causes the wall temperature increase well in the nanofluid.
