Impact of Soret and Dufour on MHD Casson fluid flow past a stretching surface with convective-diffusive conditions

A. C. Venkata Ramudu, K. Anantha Kumar, V Sugunamma, N. Sandeep

Summary: The study focuses on the impact of magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow across a convective surface with cross diffusion, chemical reaction, and non-linear radiative heat. By converting the governing flow equations into non-dimensional form, the research found that an increase in Sorret number leads to a decrease in temperature and an increase in concentration, while the Dufour number has a negative impact. Additionally, an intensification of the non-linear radiative parameter results in a decrement in Nusselt number and an enhancement in Sherwood number.
