We investigate the effects of thermal radiation, heat generation/ absorption, first-order chemical reaction, and thermal diffusion on the MHD convective flow of a Casson fluid passing through a vertical plate filled with a homogeneous porous medium. Initially, it is assumed that the plate remains unmoving and maintains a consistent temperature and concentration across time. Later on, it is assumed that the plate is moving at a constant speed and that both the temperature and concentration are increasing at an exponential rate. The model’s behaviour as a function of a broad variety of physical factors is explored by solving the governing equations analytically and numerically. Even without accounting for the Casson parameter and the effect of chemical reactions, the validated results agree well with those found in the literature. The velocity of the liquid rises as the values of the Casson and porous parameters are raised. Temperature increases for heat source and decreases for radiation presence.
