Significance of improved Fourier-Fick laws in non-linear convective micropolar material stratified flow with variable properties

Abstract

Present research article describes the effectiveness of improved Fourier-Fick fluxes and temperature-dependent conductivity on the 2-D, incompressible steady micropolar material flow over a stretchable surface. Non-linear mixed convection, double stratification and heat generation aspects are considered. The considered flow non-linear PDE are converted to ODE via appropriate transformations. Through implementation of homotopy method the obtain system is solved for series solutions. The effects of pertinent parameters are discussed through graphical sketch. Skin friction coefficient (drag force) is calculated. Main findings are pointed out.
