The present communication deals the entropy generation by cause of heat and mass transform in an unsteady mixed convective radiative squeezing flow of a Casson fluid confined between two parallel disks in the presence of diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusion effects and temperature jump. The lower disk is taken to be porous and the upper one is impermeable. The governing PDE is converted as nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODE) by using well-established similarity transformations; then, the reduced nonlinear ODE are solved by shooting method with Runge-Kutta fourth-order approach. The influence of distinct nondimensional fluid and geometric-related parameters on the velocity profiles, temperature, concentration, entropy generation number, and Bejan number are studied in detail and represented in the form of graphs. The entropy of the Casson fluid is increased with the Eckert number, whereas the concentration profile is decreased by squeezing Reynolds number. The current results are correlated with existing results for the viscous case and found to be in better agreement.
