Abstract

This article numerically investigates irreversibility analysis on the flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid configured in an inclined nonlinear stretchable sheet. The model under investigation couples the influences of viscous dissipation, non-uniform viscosity and heat source, suction/injection velocity and power law thermal boundary condition. The approach of similarity transformations is applied to transform the governing equations into ordinary differential equations and then numerically solved using shooting techniques alongside Runge- Kutta algorithms. Graphical solutions of the effects of the various controlling physical parameters are depicted and deliberated appropriately. Besides, the accuracy of the numerical code used is checked with related published studies under limiting conditions and found to be strongly correlated. The investigation reveals that heat transfer irreversibility overrides that of viscous dissipation and magnetic field with an uplift in the radiation parameter while the opposite occurs with a rise in the material parameter. More so, the velocity and entropy generation profiles enlarged with advancement in the the material micropolar parameter.
