We look at the viscous free-convective transitional magnetohydrodynamic thermal and mass flow over a plate that is always perforated and standing upright through permeable media while thermal radiation, a thermal source, and a chemical reaction are all going on. There is additional consideration for the Soret effect. The plate receives a normal application of a transversely consistent magnetic field. The magnetic Reynolds number is considerably lower considering the axial applied magnetic field instead of the induced magnetic field. The models that control mass, heat, and fluid flow are turned into two-dimensional shapes, and the answers are found by running numerical simulations using the MATLAB algorithm bvp4c. In realistic circumstances, the outcomes have been illustrated graphically. Several fluid properties have been found to have an impact on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. There is noticeable increase in velocity along with the growth of the permeability parameter and Soret number. Other dimensionless parameters have a significant impact on the fluid velocity. Likewise, the temperature profile diminishes as the radiation parameter has increased. The concentration distribution falls as the heat source parameter expands. Also, the analysis is encompassed in tabular form for the shearing stress, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number. The combined knowledge of heat and mass moving through viscous flows can be used to make a wide range of mechanisms and processes. These include biological reactors, therapeutic delivery systems, methods of splitting, aerodynamic aircraft design, and modeling for sustainability. It also optimizes automotive radiators and engine efficiency, and it improves cooling systems.
