Abstract

A boundary layer analysis has been presented for the heat transfer characteristics of a micropolar fluid flowing past a circular cylindrical surface with non-isothermal boundary conditions. The solution of the energy equation is obtained in the form of a power series of the distance measured from the stagnation point. The results for the Nusselt number have been obtained for several values of the material parameters of the fluid. A discussion has been provided for the effect of non-isothermal wall on the heat transfer rate.
