Popis: The use of Casson fluid is of considerable importance in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products, including the incorporation of china clay and biological fluids such as synovial liquids. Therefore, the primary objective of this work is to examine the characteristics of the Casson fluid flow. The Casson fluid is a non-Newtonian model often used to analyze the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) heat and mass transfer in nanofluid flow scenarios across a non-linearly stretched Riga plate. The heat and mass transfer equations include the analysis of radiation and chemical reactions, respectively. Furthermore, the process of heat transmission is intensified by the existence of an external heat source or heat sink. By applying appropriate similarity transformations, the partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs are then solved numerically by utilizing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 method, with the help of a shooting strategy. The validity of the study is determined by a comparative analysis of the present results in relation to prior research. The main objective of this research is to assess the influence of relevant flow parameters on the fluid flow, temperature, and concentration gradients, which will be visually represented and reported in tabular form. The augmentation of the Casson fluid coefficient (β) hinders the advancement of both velocity and temperature. The augmentation of the thermophoresis parameter (Nt) and magnetic factor (M) results in an elevation of θ(η) and a reduction in the curves depicting the volume fraction of nanoparticles. This study establishes a significant connection between many biological and engineering applications, particularly in the analysis of blood samples and the administration of drugs via blood circulation.
