Abstract

The upfront intension of this study is to explore the advances in electrically conducting Casson fluid induced due to a porous elongated surface taking Arrhenius activation energy, viscous dissipation and joule heating into account. Uniform magnetic and electric fields are imposed on the given flow. Variables of similarity are induced to transmute partial differential equations into dimensionless equations and resolved numerically by elegant method bvp4c. To scrutinize the behavior of critical parameters on flow configurations graphs and table are portrayed. From graphical moments, it is analyzed that velocity of the liquid diminish for advanced values of non-Newtonian rheology parameter, magnetic parameter, porous parameter and inertial parameter. This study also reported that activation energy parameter enhances concentration profiles, whereas fitted rate constant shows opposite behavior. Impact of skin friction, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers on the flow configurations for diverse critical parameters are exposed realistically via graphs.
