Abstract
This research study discusses the flow of a magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid under the influence of Soret, Dufour, and thermal radiation. Nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) of governing equations is transformed into a dimensionless version of the modified PDEs presented in terms of dimensionless parameters. The solution of coupled PDEs is obtained by the finite difference method with a combination of the quasilinearization technique. The effects of various dimensionless parameters are shown graphically, such as buoyancy force ((Formula presented.)), concentration buoyancy force (Formula presented.), Casson parameter ((Formula presented.)), magnetic parameter ((Formula presented.)), thermal radiation ((Formula presented.)), Darcy parameter ((Formula presented.)), Forchheimer (fr), Dufour ((Formula presented.)), Soret (Sor), Brownian motion ((Formula presented.)), thermopohersis ((Formula presented.)), and Lewis number ((Formula presented.)). Prevention of heat transfer in the industrial system is critical, the velocity behavior ((Formula presented.)), thermal variation ((Formula presented.)), and concentration profile ((Formula presented.)) are more prominent in the roles of coal, gas, and solar thermal collectors.
