The heat and mass transfer analysis for MHD Casson fluid boundary layer flow over a permeable stretching sheet through a porous medium is carried out. The effect of non-uniform heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are considered in heat and mass transport equations correspondingly. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two different heating processes namely; the prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed surface heat flux (PHF). After transforming the governing equations into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations, the numerical solutions are generated by an efficient Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method. The solutions are found to be dependent on physical parameters such as Casson fluid parameter, magnetic parameter, porous parameter, Prandtl and Schmidt number, heat source/sink parameter, suction/injection parameter and chemical reaction parameter. Typical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles as well as the skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented for different values of these pertinent parameters to reveal the tendency of the solutions. The obtained results are compared with earlier results with some limiting cases of the problem and found to be in good ‎agreement.‎ Manuscript profile

‎The problem of two-phase MHD boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet with fluid-particle suspension and thermal radiation has been studied. The effect of mass transfer in dusty fluid over a stretching sheet is considered for the first time. The governing equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations under suitable similarity transformations. The transformed equations are then solved numerically. The influence of various physical parameters such as magnetic parameter, fluid-particle interaction parameters, Prandtl number, Eckert number and thermal radiation parameter on velocity, temperature and concentration of both fluid and particle phase is analyzed. The numerical results of the present investigation were compared with previously published results and found to be an excellent agreement. It is found that, the momentum, thermal and solute boundary layer thickness of both fluid and dust phase are reduced for higher values of mass concentration of suspended dust ‎particles.
