A boundary layer analysis is presented to study the heat transfer characteristics of a laminar micropolar fluid boundary layer over a linearly stretching, continuous surface. The study considers the effects of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation. Two cases are studied; namely the surface with prescribed uniform surface temperature (PST‐case) and the surface with prescribed uniform wall heat flux (PHF‐case). The solution for the governing momentum, angular momentum and energy equations are obtained for various values of the material parameters of the micropolar fluid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
