Micropolar Hydromagnetic Fluid Over a Vertical Surface in Darcian Regime: An Analytical Approach

Abstract

In the present paper, the researcher investigates the mutual impact of radiative heat and mass exchange on hydromagnetic micropolar fluid moving along an infinite vertical surface in a porous regime. The goal of the research is to investigate the impact of convective temperature and mass flow on hydromagnetic motion of micropolar fluid across a vertical plate ingrained in a porous regime. The conservation equations with appropriate boundary conditions are resolved analytically by assuming a convergent series solution and thus obtained the analytical solutions for velocity, angular velocity (microrotation), temperature and molar-concentration. The novelty of the current work is that it takes heat transfer into account while considering for the impacts of chemical reaction in a micropolar fluid flow of reactive diffusing species. The influence of different physical variables on temperature, molar-concentration, velocity and angular velocity of the fluid molecules have been presented graphically for dual solutions. It is seen that the micropolar parameter and porosity of the medium play a significant behaviour over the momentum and thermal boundary layers. This investigation may involve with various disciplines of chemical engineering, bio-mechanics and medical sciences. The outcomes of the present study have significant applications in MHD generators and geothermal resource extraction.
