Thermal radiation of viscoelastic-based micropolar nanofluid with MHD effects on boundary layer

This work concentrates on 2-D steady incompressible flow of a micropolar nanofluid past a linear stretching sheet with a viscoelastic and magnetic field. The flow of nanofluid is treated with slip condition and thermal radiation. A system of equations of nanofluid has been analyzed by a combination of the similarity transformation and BVP4C method. The numerical results are individually analyzed for all dimensionless numbers. Velocities, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood are discussed graphically with the use of Matlab. The velocity profile reaches peak with the rise in micropolar and material parameters, while other parameters are reducing. The temperature profile heightens with escalating Eckert number, magnetic and radiation parameters. The concentration profile shoots up with increasing magnetic and thermophoresis parameter, while decreasing Brownian motion and Schmidt number. Micropolar, skin fraction, Sherwood and Nusselt numbers are calculated through tables finally. © 2022
