Investigation of thermal radiation and viscous heating effects on the hydromagnetic reacting micropolar fluid species flowing past a stretchy plate in permeable media

Abstract

The theory of thermal radiation and viscous heating are crucial in space engineering and high temperature activities. This inquiry analyzes the consequence of energy source/sink on steady Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow of stretchable surface via porous channel taken into account the introduction of thermal radiation and viscous heating. The transformed nondimensionalized nonlinear governing model is numerically classified and resolved to derive solutions for the physical terms using shooting techniques along with 4th order Runge Kutta method. The flow behavior represented through the physical parameters are discussed via tables and graphs. Examined are the effects of skin friction as well as Sherwood and Nusselt numbers. It is revealed from the research that increase in micropolar term leads to higher velocity and temperature while microrotation falls. Also, increase in temperature is observed for every increase in porosity, Eckert, radiative and heat source terms. It is deduced from the investigation that the temperature can be enhanced as both radiative and viscous heating terms improves.
