Abstract
Inclined uniform magnetic field and mixed convention effects on micropolar non-Newtonian nanofluid Al 2 O 3 flow with heat transfer are studied. The heat source, both viscous and ohmic dissipation and temperature micropolarity properties are considered. We transformed our system of non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary equations by using suitable similarity transformations. These equations are solved by making use of Rung–Kutta–Merson method in a shooting and matching technique. The numerical solutions of the tangential velocity, microtation velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration are obtained as functions of the physical parameters of the problem. Moreover, we discussed the effects of these parameters on the numerical solutions and depicted graphically. It is obvious that these parameters control the fluid flow. It is noticed that the tangential velocity magnifies with an increase in the value of Darcy number. Meanwhile, the value of the tangential velocity reduces with the elevation in the value of the magnetic field parameter. On the other hand, the elevation in the value of Brownian motion parameter leads to a reduction in the value of fluid temperature. Furthermore, increasing in the value of heat source parameter makes an enhancement in the value of nanoparticles concentration. The current study has many accomplishments in several scientific areas like medical industry, medicine, and others. Therefore, it represents the depiction of gas or liquid motion over a surface. When particles are moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
