This study discusses Hall and ion-slip effects in 3D heat transfer in micropolar plasma. The solution of modeled hydrodynamic boundary value problems are computed by Galerkin finite element method (GFEM). Simulations for velocity, angular velocity and temperature are carried out. Momentum and thermal boundary thickness are greatly affected by Hall and ion currents. Magnitude of angular velocity has increasing behavior when micropolar parameter increased. In view of the results obtained from the present investigation, it is recommended to use micro-polar plasma like blood and plasma polymers if Joule heating dissipations are required. Micro-rotation due to the solid structure in micropolar increases when vortex viscosity is increased.
