Differential transform solution for Hall and ion-slip effects on radiative-convective Casson flow from a stretching sheet with convective heating

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) materials processing is becoming increasingly popular in the 21st century as it offers significant advantages over conventional systems, including improved manipulation of working fluids, reduction in wear, and enhanced sustainability. Motivated by these developments, the present work develops a mathematical model for Hall and ion-slip effects on non-Newtonian Casson fluid dynamics and heat transfer toward a stretching sheet with a convective heating boundary condition under a transverse magnetic field. The governing conservation equations for mass, linear momentum, and thermal (energy) are simplified with the aid of similarity variables and Ohm's law. The emerging nonlinear-coupled ordinary differential equations are solved with an analytical technique known as the differential transform method. The impact of different emerging parameters is presented and discussed with the help of graphs and tables. Generally, aqueous electroconductive polymers are considered, for which a Prandtl number of 6.2 is employed. With increasing Hall parameter and ion-slip parameter, the flow is accelerated, whereas it is decelerated with greater magnetic parameter and rheological (Casson) fluid parameter. Skin friction is also decreased with greater magnetic field effect, whereas it is increased with stronger Hall parameter and ion-slip parameter values.
