Radiative and Joule heating effects in the MHD flow of a micropolar fluid with partial slip and convective boundary condition

We have discussed the flow of micropolar fluid past a permeable stretching sheet in attendance of joule heating, thermal radiation, partial slip and magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) with convective boundary conditions. Appropriate transformations are used to convert the boundary layer equations into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Solution of this system is obtained for velocity, temperature and micro-rotation profiles. Graphical illustrations are added to discuss the effect of evolving parameters against above mentioned distributions. Tabulated values of local Nusselt number are also added and discussed accordingly. It is studied that velocity and micro-rotation profiles decrease with an increase in value,of slip parameter. However, increase in temperature distribution is seen with gradual mounting values of thermal radiation parameter. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
