Numerical study of MHD micropolar carreau nanofluid in the presence of induced magnetic field

The heat and mass transfer of a magnetohydrodynamic micropolar Carreau nanofluid on a stretching sheet has been analyzed in the presence of induced magnetic field. An internal heating, thermal radiation, Ohmic and viscous dissipation effects are also considered. The system of the governing partial differential equations is converted into the ordinary differential equations by means of the suitable similarity transformation. The resulting ordinary differential equations are then solved by the well known shooting technique. The impact of emerging physical parameters on the velocity, angular velocity, temperature and concentration profiles are analyzed graphically. The dimensionless velocity is enhanced for the Weissenberg number and the power law index while reverse situation is studied in the thermal and the concentration profile. (c) 2018 Author(s).
