Abstract
This study assesses the motion and the dynamics of heat propagation in magneto-micropolar fluid along a sheet which vertically stretches on a two-dimensional plane in a porous material. The heat distribution is developed and evaluated under the condition of the prescribed wall temperature, constant magnetic field, thermal radiation, variable heat source and viscous dissipation. The main equations are re-formulated from partial to ordinary derivatives using similarity tools and consequently solved numerically by shooting and the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg approach. The parameters of interest are presented graphically to demonstrate their reactions on the velocity profiles, thermal field and heat transfer mechanism of the problem. The outcomes of the current investigation reveal that the heat transfer appreciates in the presence of higher Prandtl number, temperature exponent term and material parameter but decreases as the magnetic field term soars.Besides, the heat boundary structure expands and heat spread occurs as the thermal radiation, magnetic field and Eckert number terms escalates but a reverse trend is encountered as the Prandtl number, material micropolar term, Grashof number and heat exponent terms grows in magnitude. Under some limiting scenarios, the obtained data strongly correspond to the published studies in the open literature.
