Abstract

This theoretical analysis reports on the non-isothermal calendering process of micropolar-Casson fluid and studies the viscoplastic and microrotation effects by utilizing the lubrication approximation (LAT). Exact dimensionless velocity and pressure gradient solutions are achieved. Then a numerical integration technique determined other mechanical quantities. Implementing the finite difference approximations resolved the energy expression. Graphs show how material parameters influence the pressure, pressure gradient, leave-off distance, temperature distribution, force, and power function. Temperature distribution increases with increased coupling number N and decreased Casson parameter [Formula: see text]. Force and power function increase with increased coupling number and decreased Casson parameter. Both Casson and coupling number control the pressure distribution and exiting sheet thickness.
