Nanofluid research has sparked widespread attention due to its immense implementations in various courses, including chemical engineering, microelectronics, solar energy, cooling systems, electronics, power-saving, etc. This research offers modelling and numerical simulation for the magnetized Casson-based spinel ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanofluid stream owing to a spiralling stretchable sheet placed in a Darcy permeable medium. Diverse impacts like nonlinear heat radiation, viscous and Joule warms, and heat generation/absorption are considered in stimulating heat exchange. Under the imposed physical assumptions, equations governing the flow and heat flow are modelled. The partial derivative model is transferred to the ordinary derivative model by utilising compatible similarity variables. The resulting nonlinear linked ordinary derivative model is tackled computationally by the 4th-order Runge-Kutta integration procedure, accomplishing the best strategy shooting algorithm based on the built-in function of the bvp4c solver in MATLAB. Different attributes of the considered flow phenomenon corresponding to the pertinent model parameters are disclosed effectively via graphs and tables. Some leading outcomes are that amplification is examined in the thermal field and allied zone thickness responding to the radiation parameter and Biot number. With the upgraded rotation parameter, an augmentation is developed in the absolute value of the local skin friction coefficients. Moreover, amplifying the rotation parameter enfeebles the local Nassault number. This modelling could be effective in manufacturing and technological processes like polymeric material extrusion, stretchable/shrinkable packaging, and designing magnetic storage devices.
