ABSTRACT: This study presents the problem of a steady, two-dimensional, heat and mass
transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting micropolar fluid flow
past a stretching surface with velocity and thermal slip conditions. Also, the
influences of temperature dependent viscosity, thermal radiation and
non-uniform heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction of a general
order are examined on the fluid flow. The governing system of partial differential
equations of the fluid flow are transformed into non-linear ordinary
differential equations by an appropriate similarity variables and the resulting
equations are solved by shooting method coupled with fourth order
Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The effects of the controlling parameters on
the velocity, temperature, microrotation and concentration profiles as well as
on the skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood and wall couple stress are investigated
through tables and graphs. Comparison of the present results with
the existing results in the literature in some limiting cases shows an excellent
agreement.
