Heat generation and uniform suction/blowing of micropolar fluid flow on porous plat with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity

The heat generation of micropolar fluid flow on porous plat with temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity is investigated. The micropolar model due to Eringen is used to describe the working fluid. The partial differential equations governing the motion, angular momentum and energy are reduced to ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved numerically using Runge- Kutta shooting technique. The effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the fluid on both the flow and heat transfer is obtained. The results are presented graphically for velocity distribution, temperature distribution and micropolar distributions for various values of non-dimensional parameters. It is found that the effects of the parameters representing variable property of viscosity and thermal conductivity are significant.
