Abstract
The laminar boundary-layer flow of a micropolar fluid on a fixed or continuously moving flat plate with uniform surface heat flux is investigated. The plate is assumed to move in the same oropposite direction to the free stream. The resulting system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved numerically using the Keller-box method. Numerical results are obtained for the skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity, microrotation, and temperature profiles for some values of the governing parameters, namely, the velocity ratio parameter, material parameter, and Prandtl number. The results indicate that dual solutions exist when the plate and the free stream move in the opposite directions.PACS No.: 47.15.Cb
