The influence of double diffusive gradient boundary condition on micropolar nano fluid flow through stretching surface with a higher order chemical reaction
Anjanna Matta, G. Nagaraju
Abstract
The higher order chemical reaction of a magneto micropolar nanofluid flow through a stretching sheet under the effect of a Brownian motion and thermoporesis is investigated by applying the convective boundary condition on temperature and mixed boundary condition on concentration. The leading partial differential equations were transformed into ordinary equations using a similarity transformation and solved numerically using Matlab bvp4c solver. The presence of the nanoparticles has a most remarkable effect on the heat flow improvement of micropolar nanofluid. The results are depicted graphically for different flow governing material parameters.
