Abstract

Computational analysis of radiative heat transfer of micropolar variable electric conductivity fluid with a non-even heat source/sink and dissipative joule heating have been carried out in this article. The flow past an inclined plate with an unvarying heat flux is considered. The transformed equations of the flow model are solved by the Runge-Kutta scheme coupled with shooting method to depict the dimensionless temperature, microrotation and velocity at the boundary layer. The results show that the coefficient of the skin friction and the temperature gradient at the wall increases for regular electric conductivity and non-uniform heat sink/source.
