- Description
- A comprehensive numerical study is conducted to investigate effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on MHD boundary layer flow and melting heat transfer of micro-polar fluid over a stretching surface with fluid particles suspension. Using suitable transformations, the governing equations of the problem are transformed in to a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations and then they are solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method with the help of shooting technique. Authentication of the current method is proved by having compared with established results with limiting solution. The impact of the various stimulating parameters on the flow and heat transfer is analyzed and deliberated through plotted graphs in detail. We found that the velocity, angular velocity and temperature fields increase with an increase in the melting process of the stretching sheet. Also it is visualize that the shear stress factor is lower for micropolar fluids as compared to Newtonian fluids, which may be beneficial in flow and heat control of polymeric processing. 2017 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
