ABSTRACT
In this chapter, a realistic numerical investigation of two-dimensional steady laminar magnetohydrodynamic flow of Casson model with forced convection, chemical reaction, and thermal radiations is conducted. The effects of Soret and Dufour impacts and Joule heating influences in energy equation help to analyze the heat transfer occurrences in the model. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless PDEs using non-similar transformations. Quasilinearization technique linearizes the dimensionless partial differential equations. The encountered system of linear equations is solved using the implicit finite difference scheme and Varga’s algorithm. Profiles of velocity, temperature, concentration, and skin friction graphs are plotted for varying values of the radiative heat flux parameter. The impacts of radiative heat flux parameter(q), Soret number (Sr), Dufour number (Df), and Casson parameter (β) are plotted graphically. The thermophysical properties of density, viscosity, specific heat capacity, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity are given for hybrid nanoparticles.
