Similarity Solution of Stagnation-Point Flow and Heat Transfer of a Micropolar Fluid Towards a Horizontal Permeable Exponentially Elongating Sheet with Radiation, Heat Production/ Immersion

Abstract

The current study aims to explore stagnation spot flow of a micropolar fluid about a plain linear exponentially expanding penetrable surface in the incidence of radiation and in-house heat production/immersion. Through similarity mapping, the mathematical modeling statements are transformed to ODE’s and numerical results are found by shooting techniques. The impact of varying physical constants on momentum, micro-rotation and temperature is demonstrated through graphs. The computed measures including shear, couple stress, mass transfer and the local surface heat flux with distinct measures of factors involved in this proposed problem are presented through a table.
