The effects of thermal radiation and magnetic field on flow and heat transfer over an unsteady stretching surface in a micropolar fluid are studied. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations containing the material parameter K, magnetic parameter M, radiation parameter R, and Prandtl number Pr. These equations are solved numerically by applying a shooting technique, using the Runge–Kutta method. Comparison of the numerical results is made with previously published results under the special cases, and the results are found to be in good agreement. Effects of the material parameter K, magnetic parameter M, radiation parameter R, and Prandtl number Pr on the flow and heat transfer are studied.
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.
