Abstract

In this study, an analysis of Magneto-micropolar uid ow and heat transfer characteristics over an inclined nonlinearly permeable stretching sheet is investigated. The uid properties such as the dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity are taken to be temperature dependent while the electrical conductivity vary with the uid velocity. The in uences of non-uniform heat source/sink, variable applied magnetic field with power law surface temperature as the thermal boundary condition are also examined. Appropriate similarity transfor- mation variables are employed to reduce the modelled governing equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently, Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme cum shooting techniques is applied to yield the numerical solutions for the model. The findings are both depicted on graphs and tables for various controlling parameters. In the limiting situations, the results generated compared favourably with the earlier reported data in the literature. The results show that the momentum and thermal boundary layer thicknesses fall with an increase in the nonlinear stretching parameter while the opposite occur with a rise in the thermal conductivity parameter.
