Abstract
This work mainly studies the effect of the magnetic field, the suction /injection, the Brownian and thermphorese diffusions and the stability on heat transfer in a laminar boundary layer flux of micropolar nanofluids flow adjacent to moving vertical permeable plate. The appropriate governing equations developed are reduced by the transformation of similarity which are solved using the finite difference method that implements the 3-stage Lobatto collocation formula. A parametric study of the physical parameters is carried out to show their influence on the different profiles. The results show that the microrotation of the suspended nanoparticles and the presence of the magnetic field become important on the heat transfer with good chemical stability of the micropolar nanofluids.
