Radiation effect on heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium

摘要

Radiation effect on heat transfer of a micropolar fluid past unmoving horizontal plate through a porous medium is considered. Numerical solutions for the governing boundary layer equations obtained by applying an efficient numerical technique based on the shooting method. This solution studied for a range of values of permeability, vortex-viscosity and radiation parameters. The effects of these parameters examined on the velocity distribution of fluid, temperature distribution and angular velocity of microstructures as well as the coefficient of heat flux and shearing stress at the plate.
