Abstract

This article presents hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer characteristics of micropolar fluid along an inclined permeable surface under the influences of variable electric conductivity, non-uniform heat generation/absorption, surface mass flux and variable heat flux condition. The model equations are developed as nonlinear partial differential equations and then transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by appropriate similarity transformation variables. Thereafter, a numerical solution is sought for the reduced governing equations via Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme cum shooting techniques. The findings are both displayed on graphs and tables for the influences of the embedded controlling parameters. In the limiting situations, the results generated are in good agreement with the earlier published data in the literature. The results revealed that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses fall with a rise in the surface temperature parameter while the opposite occurs with a rise in both space and heat generation parameters
