description This study investigates the steady, two-dimensional boundary layer flow of a Casson fluid over an inclined nonlinear stretching surface embedded within a Forchheimer porous medium. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations through similarity transformations. The analysis incorporates the effects of an external uniform magnetic field, gravitational forces, thermal radiation modeled by the Rosseland approximation, and first-order homogeneous chemical reactions. We consider several dimensionless parameters, including the Casson fluid parameter, magnetic parameter, Darcy and Forchheimer numbers, Prandtl and Schmidt numbers, and the Eckert number to characterize the flow, heat, and mass transfer phenomena. Analytical solutions for the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are derived under simplifying assumptions, and expressions for critical physical quantities such as the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number are obtained.
