On stretched magnetic surfaces, we present a numerical study of Casson nanofluids moving through porous materials. The Casson liquid model explains how non-Newtonian liquids behave. Numerical techniques are utilized to solve the nonlinear partial differential equations produced by similarity transformations. Results are gathered for the Nusselt number, skin friction coefficient, temperature and velocity. The impacts of physical variables on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids are depicted in graphs. They include the Prandtl number, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, porosity parameter and Casson parameter. Findings indicate that as the Casson nanofluid parameters are increased, the temperature profile rises but the velocity field decreases. With increasing magnetic parameters alone, it is possible to see a decrease in the thickness of the pulse boundary layer and an increase in the thickness of the thermal boundary layer. All the results are depicted in graphical representations.
