Abstract

The combined influence of micropolar thermal conduction and variable electric conductivity is considered on a boundary layer MHD flow of an electrically conducting polar liquid streaming uniformly over a fixed impermeable vertical plate subjected to variable heat flux in the presence of temperature-dependent thermal conductivity based on Maxwell power law relation. Thermal radiation in cognizance of non-Rosseland approximation is assumed. The nonlinear PDEs governing the flow are converted to ODEs by means of similarity transformation and the obtained equations computed numerically by Runge-Kutta algorithm alongside a shooting technique. The results compared reasonably well with previous studies in the literature. Our findings unveil that the vortex viscosity parameter impedes the fluid motion but accelerates angular velocity, the micropolar conduction parameter cools down the fluid temperature while the velocity ratio impedes angular motion and enhances fluid velocity amongst others.
