Abstract
Numerical expression for steady 2D natural convection magnetohydrodynamics flow of micropolar fluid past along a vertical surface embedded through non-Darcian porous medium in the presence of heat source, chemical reaction, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation is obtained. Variable wall temperature and concentration in a doubly stratified are taken into account. The initial governing boundary layer equations are transformed to a system of ODEs, which are then solved numerically by using the Runge– Kutta–Fehlberg fourth–fifth order method along shooting technique. A parametric study is conducted and so that numerical result are obtained for the velocity, micro-rotation, temperature and concentration as well as the local friction factor coefficient, local couple stress, local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for different values of the governing parameters, namely, the magnetic parameter, material parameter, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, chemical reaction parameter and viscous dissipation and discussed in detail. Comparison in limiting case is also part of present study to validate the obtained results.
