The present work examines the convective Casson fluid flow over a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation and porous medium. The impact of thermal and mass transport is examined in terms of Soret and Dufour effects. The flow behaviour and heat transfer are investigated by subjecting the fluid to an induced magnetic field and suction/injection. The governing equations describing the flow problem are formulated using partial differential equations (PDEs). Similarity transformations are utilized to transform the governing equations into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Following that, the MATLAB solver bvp5c is utilized to grasp the results. Graphs serve as a function to display the consequences of flow on attributed parameters. Furthermore, the engineering properties such as skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are represented through tables and graphs. Besides, the results of the present study are validated with the existing results, whereas a fine correspondence has been noticed. The findings show that the velocity of the fluid decreases by 8%, when the parameter of the induced magnetic field rises from 0.1 to 0.2. Similarly, a 3% decrement in the velocity profile is observed, while increasing the suction/injection parameter from 1.2 to 1.4. The temperature of the fluid is escalated for the increasing values of the Eckert number. Our analysis indicates a positive correlation between the Nusselt number and increasing Dufour number values. Similarly, the Sherwood number exhibits enhancement with a rise in the chemical reaction parameter. This combination has some applications in designing cooling systems for microfluidic devices, optimizing drag reduction in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) devices, and developing novel separation processes.
