AB - The purpose of present article is to examine the influences of heat and mass  fluxes in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Casson nanofluid by an  exponentially stretching sheet. Formulation and analysis is presented when  thermal radiation and viscous dissipation are taken into account.  Transformation technique is adopted for the reduction of PDE systems to ODE  systems. Both analytic and numerical solutions of dimensionless velocity,  temperature and nanoparticle concentration fields are developed. The impacts  of sundry parameters on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle  concentration profiles are plotted and discussed. The values of skin-friction  coefficient are obtained numerically. It is found that an increase in the  values of Casson parameter reduced the skin-friction coefficient while it  enhances for larger Hartman number.
