description The study is devoted to investigating the effect of an unsteady non-Newtonian Casson fluid over a vertical plate. A mathematical analysis is presented for a Casson fluid by taking into consideration Soret and Dufour effects, heat generation, heat radiation, and chemical reaction. The novelty of the problem is the physical interpretation of Casson fluid before and after adding copper water-based nanoparticles to the governing flow. It is found that velocity was decreased and the temperature profile was enhanced. A similarity transformation is used to convert the linked partial differential equations that control flow into non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations. The momentum, energy, and concentration formulations are cracked by means of the finite element method. The thermal and solute layer thickness growth is due to the nanoparticles’ thermo-diffusion. The effects of relevant parameters such as the Casson fluid parameter, radiation, Soret and Dufour effects, chemical reaction, and Prandtl number are discussed. A correlation of the average Nusselt number and Sherwood number corresponding to active parameters is presented. It can be noticed that increasing the Dufour number leads to an uplift in heat transfer. Fluid velocity increases with Grashof number and decreases with magnetic effect. The impact of heat sources and radiation is to increase the thermal conductivity. Concentration decreases with the Schmidt number.
