Abstract
Mixed convection describes the combined effects of free and forced convection. It’s used extensively in technical projects including solar collectors, electronics, and nuclear power plants. When buoyancy force dominates the forced convective process or when forced flow dominates the free convective process, such a process is taking place. The authors of this study pondered the situation in which a non-Newtonian micropolar fluid flows steadily and incompressible past an expanding sheet. We have used elements of EMHD, velocity slip, and mixed convection to achieve this. The set of equations administered flow of fluid is converted into ordinary differential equation by suitable variables. MATLAB software’s bvp4c code is used to find the solutions of reduced equations. The influence of different parameters on velocity profile and temperature profile are illustrated. From the outcomes, it is stipulated that the increasing parameter Ec, the PST and PHF temperature distributions exhibit an increasing trend. Additionally, when we increase the value of Pr, we see a decreasing trend in the temperature distribution for both the PFT and PHF instances.
