A stratified flow may be seen regularly in a number of significant industrial operations. For instance, the stratified flow regime is typically used by gas-condensate pipelines. Clearly, only a limited set of working situations for which this flow arrangement is stable allow for the achievement of the stratified two-phase flow zone. In this paper, the authors are considered the laminar, steady and incompressible magnetohydrodynamic flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow past a stratified extending sheet. The features of bio-convection, Brownian motion, thermal radiation thermophoresis, heat source, and chemically reactive activation energy have been employed. The set of equations administered flow of fluid is converted into ordinary differential equation by suitable variables. A semi-analytical investigation of the present analysis is performed with homotopy analysis method. Endorsement of the current results with previous results is also investigated. The outcomes showed that the velocity distribution of the fluid flow lessens with higher Casson and magnetic factors. The temperature profiles of fluid flow shrinkage as the Prandtl number and Casson factor increase and enlarges with higher values of thermal radiation, magnetic, and Brownian motion factors. It is found that the growing thermophoretic and Brownian motion factors reduce the rate of thermal flow of the Casson fluid flow. In contrast, the increasing thermal stratification parameter increases the thermal flow rate of fluid.
