Magnetohydrodynamic convective flow and heat transfer of a micropolar fluid past a continuously moving vertical porous plate in the presence of heat generation/absorption with constant suction has been analyzed numerically. With appropriate transformations the boundary layer equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The local similarity solutions of the transformed dimensionless equations for the flow, microrotation, and heat transfer characteristics are evaluated using Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique. Numerical results are presented in the form of velocity, microrotation, and temperature profiles within the boundary layer for different parameters entering into the analysis. Also the effects of the pertinent parameters on the local skin friction coefficient and rate of the heat transfer in terms of the local Nusselt number are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
