Abstract: | The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation point flow of micropolar fluids towards a heated shrinking surface is analyzed. The
effects of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation/absorption are taken into account. Two explicit cases, i.e., the
prescribed surface temperature (PST) and the prescribed heat flux (PHF), are discussed. The boundary layer flow and energy
equations are solved by employing the homotopy analysis method. The quantities of physical interest are examined through the
presentation of plots/tabulated values. It is noticed that the existence of the solutions for high shrinking parameters is
associated closely with the applied magnetic field. |
