Abstract

This present study focuses on the technological impact of hydromagnetic micropolar fluid flow and heat transfer over an inclined sheet with the effects of thermal radiation, Joule heating and non-uniform heat source/sink as well as surface mass flux. The governing equations of the flow and heat transfer have been reduced from partial to ordinary differential equations via similarity transformation. Subsequently, shooting techniques alongside fourth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme are employed to solved the transmuted equations. The influences of the main controlling parameters are analyzed using graphs and tables with appropriate discussion. The results compared favourably with the earlier reported data in the literature in the limiting cases. The results also showed that the skin friction coefficient can be reduced better by applying the non-Newtonian micropolar fluid and that the velocity as well as the temperature profiles accelerate with a rise in the radiation parameter.
