Abstract
A finite difference numerical simulation scrutiny is executed to evaluate the combined impacts of heat generation, buoyancy forces, viscous dissipation and Joule heating in unsteady hydromagnetic mixed convective chemically reactive and radiative Casson fluid flowing along an exponentially accelerating permeable vertical plate engrossed in a porous media by considering ramp surface concentration and temperature. The dimensionless non-linear coupled PDEs describing the flow model are dealt numerically by adopting the competent implicit Crank-Nicolson finite difference procedure. The variance of velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are exposed via graphical representations due to the dissimilarity of the flow restrained parameters. Computational outcomes of the skin-friction, Nusselt and the Sherwood numbers are portrayed in the tabular pattern. The final outcomes of the research exposed that the impacts of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and heat production parameters enlarges the temperature and velocity distributions. The fluid motion deflates for growing Casson parameter and magnetic field intensity. The rising chemical reaction parameter suppresses the concentration and velocity distributions. Very importantly it is distinguished that fluid momentum, temperature, and concentration are quicker in the instance of isothermal plate temperature than ramp wall temperature. This kind of research may find specific industrial and medical utilizations such as glass manufacturing, crude oil purification, lubrication, paper production, blood transport study in cardiovascular design, etc.
