Numerical Investigation of Joule Heating Effect on Micropolar Nanofluid Flow Over an Inclined Surface in Presence of Heat Source

The MHD boundary layer flow of a micropolar nanofluid across an inclined stretching surface in the presence of a heat source is examined in this paper. This study employs permeable inclined surfaces with energy flow as its primary observation with heat radiation and the Dufour impact. The impact of Joule heating, viscous dissipation and heat source on the porous media are also considered. This study uses similarity transformations to convert nonlinear partial differential equations that governs the flow to ordinary differential equations. The bvp4c computational technique in MATLAB is used to illustrate the numerical findings. Based on the findings we were able to determine that the velocity and angular velocity of the fluid increases with the angle of inclination, the temperature profile increases with the increasing values of Eckert number whereas the concentration profile decreases with Eckert number. These findings are further illustrated through numerical data presented in table and visual representations in figures. These findings will enable engineers and scientists to better control fluid flow, leading to improvements in complex systems that rely on it.
