Abstract

The goal of this research is to check irregularity in heat generation, chemical reaction and thermal radiation effect an unsteady micropolar fluid flow. With the help of suitable similarity variables, the group of governing system of PDE and their associative boundary conditions are converted into the family of ODE and then solved using the HAM. The effect of various and important dimensionless parameters on the momentum, micro-rotation, energy and concentration equations have been discussed with graphical representation as well as tabular forms. It is observed that buoyancy force parameter, mixed convection parameter and permeability parameter enhance the velocity distribution while micropolar reduces the velocity profile. The temperature profiles are boosted for time and space dependent heat generation and absorption parameter respectively but reverse trend is observed for Prandtl number and unsteadiness parameter. Skin-friction factor, mass transfer rate and heat transfer rate have been listed and displayed in tables.
