Abstract:
An analysis is presented to describe the hydromagnetic mixed convection flow of an elec trically conductingmicropolar fluid past a vertical plate through a porous medium with radiation and slip flow regime. A uniformmagnetic field has been considered in the study which absorbs the micropolar fluid with a varying suctionvelocity and acts perpendicular to th e porous surface of the above plate.The governing non-linear partialdifferential equations have been transformed into linear partial differential equations, which are solvednumerically by applying the explicit finite difference method. The numerical results are presented graphically inthe form of velocity, micro-rotation, concentration and temperature profiles, the skin-friction coefficient, thecouple stress coefficient, the rate of heat and mass transfers at the wall for different material parameters
