This study examines different fluid flow through an elaborated plate. In the modeling of the physical phenomena under investigation, the impacts of viscous dissipation, activation energy and chemical reaction are considered. Also, the heat transport phenomena are explained by the variable thermal conductivity theory. By using the right transformations, the flow-generating PDEs are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The parameters' impacts on the velocity, temperature and mass fields are analyzed in detail. The modeled problem is graphically handled in MATLAB using the numerical technique (BVP4c). Graphical representations of the important factors affecting temperature and velocity fields are illustrated through graphs. The findings disclose that the effectiveness of the velocity field is determined by the changing values of the magnetic parameter. The Prandtl values are decreased, the temperature profile becomes more pronounced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Squeezing flow of Casson liquid between two disks is a practical application in compression, polymer processing and injection molding. In this paper, the Casson liquid flow between two convectively heated disks is analyzed using Buongiorno model. Further, the heat and mass transport analysis is done by considering the impact of heat source/sink and activation energy. The continuity and momentum equations governing the unsteady two-dimensional flow are derived using conservative laws. The equations are reformulated using the similarity transformations and the reformulated equations are solved numerically with MATLAB routine bvp4c. The effect of embedding different physical parameters on the flow is analyzed through the graphs for both suction and blowing cases along with comprehensive solutions and equal Biot numbers. Results are validated with the existing literature. For both suction and blowing cases, squeezing number decreases the velocity near the lower disk but increases the velocity near the upper disk. Increasing magnetic field strength slightly increases velocity near the lower disk for equal Biot numbers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
