    Squeezing flow of Casson liquid between two disks is a practical application in compression, polymer processing and injection molding. In this paper, the Casson liquid flow between two convectively heated disks is analyzed using Buongiorno model. Further, the heat and mass transport analysis is done by considering the impact of heat source/sink and activation energy. The continuity and momentum equations governing the unsteady two-dimensional flow are derived using conservative laws. The equations are reformulated using the similarity transformations and the reformulated equations are solved numerically with MATLAB routine bvp4c. The effect of embedding different physical parameters on the flow is analyzed through the graphs for both suction and blowing cases along with comprehensive solutions and equal Biot numbers. Results are validated with the existing literature. For both suction and blowing cases, squeezing number decreases the velocity near the lower disk but increases the velocity near the upper disk. Increasing magnetic field strength slightly increases velocity near the lower disk for equal Biot numbers.
