MHD free convective heat and mass transfer flow of dissipative Casson fluid with variable viscosity and thermal conductivity effects

Abstract

In this paper, the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux relocation paradox on Casson fluid with MHD and dissipative effects was considered. The buoyancy and heat generation effects were believed to be responsible for the natural convection, while variable properties were perceived as temperature-dependent linear function. Under the given assumptions, the governing system of equations was formulated and transformed. Hence, the Chebyshev collocation spectral approach was therefore employed to achieve an approximate solution. However, the behaviour of temperature-dependent variability establishes the relationship between the boundary layer flow of plastic dynamic viscosity and the Casson fluid. Furthermore, it was observed that a corresponding increase in the stretching index (Formula presented.) increases the skin friction and decreases the energy and mass gradient accordingly. The relocation phenomenon contributes to a decrease in the thermal process, while the temperature gradient attained maximum within (Formula presented.) variation of the Casson parameter.
