Heat and Mass transfer in MHD Viscoelastic Micropolar fluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of Thermal Radiation

Abstract

In the present work, the heat and mass phenomenon in magnetohydrodynamics viscoelastic Micropolar fluid in the presence of thermal radiation is analysed. The fluid with constant thermal conductivity flows over a stretching sheet. The basic equations of the model governing the flow of non-Newtonian fluids occur as partial differential equations that have been reduced to simpler form of ODE by similarity transformation. The Homotopy perturbation method is used to solve the transformed equations.The effects of various physical parameters such as viscoelastic parameter, magnetic parameter, Prandtl number, micropolar parameter, thermal radiation parameter, which determine the velocity, temperature, microrotation and concentration profileare shown in graphs. The results exhibit excellent agreement with the work of present and previous limiting results of other literature cited.
