Effect of Heat Generation/Absorption on Heat and Mass Transfer in A Micropolar Fluid Over A Stretching Sheet with Newtonian Heating and Chemical Reaction

Abstract

The steady, two dimensional flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting and chemically reacting micropolar fluid over a stretching sheet with Newtonian heating in the presence of MHD, Heat source/sink, mass transfer and chemical reaction. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations have been transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations. The similarity ordinary differential equations were then solved by MATLAB routine bvp4c. Numerical results are obtained for the skin-friction coefficient, the couple wall stress, the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number as well as the velocity, microrotation, temperature and concentration profiles for different values of the governing parameters, namely, material parameter, magnetic parameter, heat source/sink parameter and chemical reaction parameter.

Keywords

Heat and Mass Transfer, micropolar fluid, MHD, Stretching surface, heat source or sink, chemical reaction.
