Visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation are some examples of thermal radiation. In manufacturing industries radiative heat transfer flow is very significant for depiction of reliable equipment, nuclear power plants, gas turbines and different propulsion devices for satellites, missiles, aircraft and space vehicles. Viscous and non-newtonian fluids through various aspects and thermal radiation have been examined by many researchers. Pramanik [1] discussed numerical solutions for steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer for a Casson fluid over an exponentially permeable stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation. He concluded that temperature as well as thermal boundary layer enhances due to thermal radiation. Hydromagnetic mixed convection heat and mass transfer flow of an incompressible Boussinesq fluid past a vertical porous plate with constant heat flux and thermal radiation is analyzed by Makinde. [2] The effects of thermal radiation over a stretching sheet under different flow geometries have been reported by several researchers. [3 5] Impact of viscous dissipation is usually neglected but its presence become noteworthy when liquid viscosity is high. It changes the temperature distributions by playing a role like an energy source, which leads to affect heat Corresponding author, 12-phd-mt-007@hitecuni.edu.pk c 2018 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd transfer rates. Viscous dissipation is of interest for several applications such as notable temperature rises are witnessed in polymer processing, inection molding or extrusion at high rates. The effect of viscous dissipation was initially considered by Brickman. [6] According to him temperature distribution of Newtonian fluid in straight circular tube and interprets result that the effects were produced in the close region. Chand et al. [7] studied effects of viscous dissipation and radiation on unsteady flow of electrically conducting fluid through a porous stretching surface. He examined that Eckert number boost temperature profile. Hayat et al. [8] presented MHD stagnation point flow of Jeffrey fluid by a radially stretching surface with viscous dissipation and Joule heating. Hayat et al., [9] Barik and Dash [10] also studied the flow of Newtonian fluid under the combined effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. Some notable recent articles are cited in Refs. [11 19] and many therein. In nature, some non- Newtonian fluids behave like elastic solid that is, no flow occurs with small shear stress. Casson fluid is one of such fluids. The examples of Casson fluid are of the type as follows: elly, tomato sauce, honey, soup and concentrated fruit uices. Human blood can also be treated as Casson fluid. In 1959, Casson introduced this fluid model for the prediction of flow behavior of pigment-oil suspensions. [20] Animasaun [21] has studied MHD dissipative Casson fluid flow with suction and n-th order of chemical reaction. He depicts that temperature and concentration are decreasing function of Casson fluid parameter. Nadeem et al. [22] put his contribution on Casson fluid past a linearly stretching

Casson fluid model under different circumstances like thermal radiation, slip condition etc. is studied by many researchers see Refs. [23 25]. All of the above studies on Casson fluid had reported the boundary layer flow over stretching sheet in the absence of electrically conducting fluids over a Riga plate. This plate is used to produce magnetic field due to which Lorentz force is generated which controls the fluid flow. Riga plate is electromagnetic plate consisting of periodic pairs of electrodes proposed by Gailitis and Lielausis. [17] After identifying Lorentz force theoretically [26] and experimentally [27] as a resourceful mediator to reduce the skin friction; few recent studies of laminar fluid flow over a Riga plate has been reported. Pantokratoras and Magyari [28] explained EMHD free-convection boundary-layer flow from a Riga-plate. Later on, aiding and opposing mixed convection flows over the Rigaplate was investigated by Magyari and Pantokratoras. [29] Pantokratoras [30] considered Sakiadis and Blasius flow for Riga-plate by using finite difference method. After reviewing above literature, it predicts that effect of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation for Casson fluid over an electrically conducted Riga plate incorporating with stagnation point has not been considered. Keeping this in mind, in present article we have studied the influences of viscous dissipation on boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid over a Riga plate in presence of activation energy near a stagnation point. Governing nonlinear ordinary differential equations are then solved by using finite difference approach named as Keller-Box scheme. To validate proposed scheme results comparison is provided with well establish, stable numerical procedure. 2 Problem Formulation and Governing Equations Present article focuses on study steady state, incompressible, two-dimensional flow of an electrically conducting Casson fluid over a stretchable Riga-plate. The plate is considered to have variable thickness δ, such that thickness is small relative to plate length. It is worth mentioning here that an alternate arry of electrodes and permanent magnets fixed on a plane surface constructs a Riga-plate see Fig. 1. In addition, heat transfer phenomenon is examined under the influence of viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. Temperature at the wall T w and ambient temperature T are taken to be constant. Moreover, free stream velocity is taken to be U e x = U x + b n and sheet is assumed to be stretched with velocity U w x = U 0 x + b n, where U, U 0 > 0 are dimensional constants. Schematic diagram for both stretching and boundary-layer flows is presented in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 Fig. 1 Riga plate. Physical flow diagram. Now, governing boundary layer equations see Refs. [23], [30], and [31] of stagnation-point flow and heat transfer with internal heat generation of Casson fluid over Riga-plate are: u x + v y = 0, u u x + v u y = v u T x + v T y = with associated boundary conditions 2 u y 2 + U du e e dx + π 0M 0 exp π 8ρ a y, 2 k 2 T ρc p y 2 + Q 0 T T + v ρc p C p u = U w x = U 0 x + b m, v = 0, T = T w, at y = δx + b 1 m/2, 1 u 2 16σ T T y 3k ρc p y 2, 3 u U e x = U x + b m, T T, as y, 4 here u and v are velocity components along flow x-direction and normal to flow y-directions, ν denotes kinematic

Figure 3 demonstrates behavior of Casson fluid velocity for stretching parameter A. It is revealed that an inverted boundary layer appeared for A < 1 and A > 1. Moreover, thickness of boundary layer decreases with increase in A < 1. Internal forces like adhesive forces contribute in lowering velocity of fluid. Wall thickness maximizes these forces acting on fluid and hence velocity decreases. The effect of wall thickness parameter α on velocity profile is displayed in Fig. 4. From this diagram it is depicted that velocity falls as wall thickness parameter α increases. Moreover, viscous boundary layer thickness has no remarkable affects with an increas-

Fig. 7 Variation of m on f η. Fig. 4 Variation of α on f η. Fig. 8 Variation of Q on f η. Fig. 5 Variation of on f η. Figure 5 demonstrates variation of velocity f η for various values of fluid parameter. Flow velocity depends directly on yield stress. Fluid parameter adds in reducing yield stress for its greater values. Due to this fact velocity f η and associated momentum boundary layer thickness diminishes significantly with rise of fluid parameter. Physical analysis of velocity f η profile for dimensionless parameter 1 is given in Fig. 6. It is obvious that fluid velocity declines with mount in value of 1. It is also viewed that viscous boundary layer descends with ascending values of 1. Figure 7 exhibits behavior of power index m on velocity f η distribution. This analysis reveals that with an increase in value of m, f η drops near sheet and opposite trend is observed far from sheet. The fact

6 No. 1 Communications in Theoretical Physics 73 is that power index m contributes in varying stretching velocity positively and hence fluid behavior is ultimately changed, so for growing values of m, flow velocity at and near sheet boosts. Electric field strength contributes in varying magnetic behavior in flow field. This results in modifying flow pattern. On increasing external electric force field, Hartmann/magnetic number Q lessens which results in enhancing velocity distribution. Impact of modified Hartmann number Q on velocity f η is shown in Fig. 8. Heat transfer depends on thickness of wall. The thicker wall results in less heat transfer in it. heat source parameter λ. By definition, λ is a source to provide heat to the system. Fig. 11 Variation of Ec on θη. Fig. 9 Variation of α on θη. Fig. 12 Variation of λ on θη. Fig. 10 Variation of on θη. Figure 9 portraits temperature θη with variation of wall thickness parameter α. Temperature distribution is almost self-governing of Casson parameter in several cases. For higher values of, it results in raise temperature of fluid. Plot of temperature distribution θη for fluid parameter is displayed in Fig. 10. Eckert number is an illustration of heat dissipation in flow. Kinetic energy of flow is increased for increasing values of Eckert number and therefore, temperature rises. The impact of Eckert number Ec on temperature profile θη is sketched in Fig. 11. Temperature θη is an increasing function of Fig. 13 Variation of m on θη. It results in increasing thermal energy of fluid, so temperature enhances with greater values of heat source parameter λ. This fact is analyzed through Fig. 12. Influence of power index m on temperature profile θη is discussed in Fig. 13. On increasing stretching velocity, kinetic energy of fluid grows significantly which enhances

Because of this, temperature and associated thermal boundary layer grows up for higher values of m. associated to thermal diffusivity of fluid and accordingly fall downs temperature distribution. P r contributes in lowering temperature θη of fluid. Figure 15 is a graphical representation of this fact.

8 No. 1 Communications in Theoretical Physics 75 Further Table 1 presents numerical results of rate of shear stress at surface for several influential parameters. We suggest from this tabulated outcomes that magnitude of skin friction coefficient increases with an increase in m, 1, and α. It can be observed that fluid parameter and Hartmann numbers result in lessening stress rate at surface. Table 2 shows heat transfer rate with respect to pertinent parameters. It is obvious from this table that P r, α and Q related directly with Nusselt number Nu x and inversely related to index m, fluid parameter, stretching parameter A radiation parameter Nr and Eckert number Ec.

Governing physical problem is tackled numerically using Keller Box Method. Moreover, a comparative numerical analysis is drawn with shooting method. This analysis will help in developing more understanding to boundary layer flow over an electromagnetic plate for viscoelastic fluids. Such type of problems are encounter in electronic and electric devices manufacturing. Graphical and numerical results are shown for various pertinent parameters on velocity and temperature distribution. It is concluded that velocity f η, skin friction C f and rate of heat flux Nu x is a decreasing function of Casson rheological parameter and distribution of temperature θη grows up with. Further, Eckert number contributes in enhancing temperature of fluid. Modified Hartmann number Q results in increasing fluid velocity. Radiation parameter Nr and index numbers m enhance temperature. Rise in Eckert number leads to raise temperature and reduce Nusselt number at the sheet. Finally, comparative analysis reveals that Keller Box Method converges more rapid as compare to shooting method. Hence proposed method is reliable and efficient to solve nonlinear differential equations. References [1] S. Pramanik, Ain Shams Engg. J [2] O. D. Makinde, Chem. Engg. Commun [3] A. Y. Bakier, Int.
