Abstract

The heat transfer from a stretching sheet to a micropolar fluid is analyzed using the theory of micropolar fluids formulated by Eringen. The governing equations for momentum, angular momentum and energy have been solved numerically. Numerical data for the friction factor and Nusselt number has been tabulated for a range of Prandtl numbers. Surface mass transfer rate and the power law constant for the wall temperature have considerable influence on the heat transfer mechanism.
