Abstract
Abstract The present investigation deals with the study of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics occurring during the melting process due to a stretching surface in micropolar fluid with heat absorption. The governing equations representing fluid flow have been transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The equations thus obtained have been solved numerically using Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The effects of the melting parameter, micropolar parameter heat absorption parameter and stretching parameter on the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics have been tabulated, illustrated graphically and discussed in detail. Results show that heat transfer rate decreases with melting parameter and heat absorption parameter significantly at the fluid-solid interface.
