Abstract
Present work concerns numerical solutions of hydromagnetic slip flow of Casson fluid under the
influence of chemical reaction and convective boundary conditions. The flow is generated due to
power law stretching sheet placed inside a porous medium. The nonlinear governing equations are
transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations via suitable transformations. The
transformed equations are then solved numerically using Keller-box method and graphical results
are produced through MATLAB software. The influence of pertinent parameters on velocity,
temperature, concentration profiles, as well as wall shear stress, heat and mass transfer rates is
performed and examined qualitatively. The obtained numerical results are compared with previous
work and presented in tabular form.
