Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the ow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of magneto-micropolar chemically reactive uid over a nonlinear stretching sheet in a saturated non-Darcy porous medium. The impact of viscous dissipation and non-uniform heat source/sink are checked under the in uence of prescribed surface temperature and concentration boundary conditions. The model equations governing the problem are reduced from partial to ordinary di�erential equations using a suitable similarity conversion analysis and then solved via shooting technique with Runge-Kutta algorithms. The numerical outcomes of the simulation are illustrated graphically while a comparison of the present numerical analysis with previous reported data in literature for some limiting situations shows an excellent agreement. The results indicate that the velocity and microrotation pro�les advance as the material parameter increases with the motion of micropolar uid higher than that of Newtonian uid and that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses become thin with an increase in the nonlinear stretching parameter.
