Abstract
The fully developed free convection micropolar fluid flow between two vertical porous parallel plates is studied in the presence of temperature dependent heat sources including the effect of frictional heating. The basic equations are solved using quasi-linearization finite difference technique with an error of order 0.5 × 10 −6. The velocity, microrotation and temperature are displayed in graphs whereas the skin friction, couple stress and Nusselt numbers at the plates are shown in tables. It is noted that the couple stress on either plates increases numerically with increase in micropolar parameter. Also the Nusselt number follows the same pattern for a negative suction velocity.
