Heat and Mass Transfer On The Mhd Flow of an Unsteady Micropolar Fluid Along a Vertical Stretching Sheet

Smita Sahu, G.C Hazarika

Abstract

An investigation is made to study the heat and mass transfer on an unsteady MHD micropolar fluid along a vertical stretching sheet in the presence of induced magnetic field considering both viscosity and thermal conductivity to be the inverse linear function of temperature. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into dimensionless forms using similarity transformations. The effects of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity and the other parameters involved in the problem are investigated on the velocity, micro-rotation, temperature, concentration and induced magnetic field distribution profiles by solving the governing transformed ordinary differential equations with the help of Runge-Kutta fourth order method with shooting technique and shown graphically and in tabulated form and discussed in details.

Keywords
