Abstract
The present article is about the study of Darcy-Forchheimer flow of Casson nanofluid over a linear stretching surface. Effects like variable Hall current, activation energy, Diffusion thermo is also incorporated for the analysis of heat and mass transfer. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with convective boundary conditions are first converted into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with the help of similarity transformation, and then the resulting nonlinear ODEs are solved with the help of shooting method. The impact of different physical parameters like Activation energy, Diffusion thermo, Brownian motion, thermophoresis parameter, hall current, magnetic parameter, nonlinear radiative heat flux, Prandtl number, Lewis number, reaction rate constant, on Nusselt number, velocity, temperature and concentration profile has been discussed. It is viewed that the fluid velocity and concentration profile enhance with increasing hall parameter and Activation energy respectively.
