Abstract

This study investigates heat and mass transfer in magnetohydrodynamic micropolar uid ow past a vertical stretching permeable sheet in a porous medium with constant heat and mass uxes. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied normal to the stretching sheet, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear cou- pled differential equations using similarity transformation. The resulting equations are solved by Runge-Kutta method alongside shooting method. The effects of various em- bedded ow parameters such as magnetic parameter, Soret and Dufour effects, thermal radiation, Prandtl, Schmidt and Eckert numbers, micropolar (material) parameter, suc- tion/injection and permeability are found on velocity, temperature, concentration and microrotation profiles. The in uence of the ow parameters on the Skin friction, wall couple shear stress, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are also obtained and presented in tables. In addition, it was found that micropolar uid exhibits a reduction in shear stresses as compared to Newtonian fluids
