The present study investigates numerically MHD flow near the stagnation point of micropolar fluid through a shrinking sheet containing nanoparticles under the influence of chemical reaction and external heat. The study is an attempt to investigate the flow behaviour of micropolar nanofluid because of its importance in heat transfer process in industries as well as cooling systems. The governing equations are converted to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by implementing similarity transformations. Numerical results are investigated in the form of figures and tables by using MATLAB built in solver bvp4c for various dimensionless parameters. The impacts of external heat parameter on temperature and chemical reaction factor on concentration of the nanofluid are illustrated in the form of graphs. It is observed that the temperature of the nanofluid and nanoparticle volume distributions increase when Biot number attain larger values. Rise in Thermophoretic parameter increases the nanoparticles concentration in the boundary layer. Numerical data are presented for Nusselt number and Sherwood number.

The present study analyses the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a double stratified micropolar fluid across a vertical stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of suction, chemical reaction, and heat source effects. The governing equations in the form of partial differential equations are transitioned into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. The numerical solutions are obtained with the aid of the boundary value problem bvp4c solver in the MATLAB software. Numerical results have been confirmed with the previous results for a certain case and the comparison is found to be in an excellent agreement. Results for related profiles and heat transfer characteristics are displayed through plots and tabulated for the governing parameters involved. It is found that the reduced skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with the increasing chemical reaction and heat source parameters. The rising values of the chemical reaction parameter have increased the magnitude of the local Sherwood number. In contrary, the heat source parameter has the tendency to decrease the magnitude of the local Sherwood number.

AbstractA comprehensive study of MHD two dimensional stagnation point flow with heat and mass transfer characteristics towards a heated shrinking sheet immersed in an electrically conducting incompressible micropolar fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is analyzed numerically. The governing continuity, momentum, angular momentum, mass concentration and heat equations together with the associated boundary conditions are first reduced to a set of self similar nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation and are then solved by a method based on finite difference discretization. Some important features of the flow, heat & mass transfer characteristics and chemical reaction for different values of the physical parameters are analyzed, discussed and presented through tables and graphs. The study may be beneficial in the flow and heat control of polymeric processing.

This paper presents an incompressible two-dimensional heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow in a porous medium between two parallel plates with chemical reaction, Hall and ion slip effects. Let there be periodic injection or suction at the lower and upper plates and the nonuniform temperature and concentration at the plates are varying periodically with time. The flow field equations are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically by quasilinearization technique. The profiles of velocity components, microrotation, temperature distribution and concentration are studied for different values of fluid and geometric parameters such as Hartmann number, Hall and ion slip parameters, inverse Darcy parameter, Prandtl number, Schmidt number, and chemical reaction rate and shown in the form of graphs.

The prime aim of this paper is to probe the flow of micropolar nanofluid towards an inclined stretching surface adjacent to the stagnation region with Brownian motion and thermophoretic impacts. The chemical reaction and heat generation or absorption are also taken into account. The energy and mass transport of the micropolar nanofluid flow towards an inclined surface are discussed. The numerical solution is elucidated for the converted non-linear ordinary differential equation from the set of partial nonlinear differential equations via compatible similarity transformations. A converted system of ordinary differential equations is solved via the Keller-box scheme. The stretching velocity and external velocity are supposed to change linearly by the distance from the stagnation point. The impacts of involved parameters on the concerned physical quantities such as skin friction, Sherwood number, and energy exchange are discussed. These results are drawn through the graphs and presented in the tables. The energy and mass exchange rates show a direct relation with the stagnation point. In the same vein, skin friction diminishes with the growth of the stagnation factor. Heat and mass fluxes show an inverse correspondence with the inclination factor.
