In this work, the effects of slip velocity on the flow and heat transfer for an electrically
conducting micropolar fluid over a permeable stretching surface with variable heat flux in the presence
of heat generation (absorption) and a transverse magnetic field are investigated. The governing
partial differential equations describing the problem are converted to a system of non-linear
ordinary differential equations by using the similarity transformation, which is solved numerically
using the Chebyshev spectral method. The effects of the slip parameter on the flow, micro-rotation
and temperature profiles as well as on the local skin-friction coefficient, the wall couple stress and
the local Nusselt number are presented graphically. The numerical results of the local skin-friction
coefficient, the wall couple stress and the local Nusselt number are given in a tabular form and
discussed. |
