Abstract

Theoretically, micropolar fluids are used in the biomedical investigations. This study analyzes the flow, heat and mass transfer in a magneto-micropolar reactive fluid over a nonlinear stretching sheet in a saturated non-Darcy porous medium. The impact of velocity, thermal and concentration slips with prescribed surface temperature and concentration boundary conditions are examined. Mathematical models are formulated and solved using an iterative technique spectral quasi-linearization method. The results of numerical simulations are depicted graphically. The present results when cross-checked with earlier reported data in the literature for limiting conditions exhibit good agreement. The results show that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses fall as the nonlinear stretching parameter increases while the opposite occur with a rise in the thermal conductivity parameter.
