Illustration of reacting species on the magnetohydrodynamic flow of micropolar fluid through an expanding surface with ohmic heating

Abstract

The existing investigation intended to expose the control of dissipative heat on the flow of micropolar fluid past a moving surface embedding with permeable medium. The flow profiles are considerably boosted by the Darcy-Forchheimer inertial drag associated with Joule and Darcy dissipation. Because of the magnetic interaction as well as the permeability of the medium it is not wise to neglect these effects. The application of the current study is vital in the production process of certain materials in industries, applied engineering vis-a-vis biomedical areas such as drug delivery system, peristaltic pumping, etc. The use of standard transformation rules for the stream function the profiles are get rid into ordinary nonlinear from the system of nonlinear partial. Further, the system of equations is solved by using approximate analytical technique generally known as ‘Adomian Decomposition Method’. Graphs are used to analyse many constraints affecting the flow phenomena, and tabular data is used to investigate on the simulated findings for the rate coefficients. Further, the important outcomes are; the non-Newtonian parameter favours in enhancing the fluid velocity in comparison to the Newtonian fluid whereas the inertial drag retards it significantly.
