Abstract

In this paper, two-dimensional steady laminar boundary layer flow of a nonlinear mixed convection flow of micropolar nanofluid with Soret and magnetic field effect over a nonisothermal sphere is evaluated. The mathematical formulation for the flow problem has been made with appropriate similarity transformation and dimensionless variables, and the main nonlinear boundary value problems were reduced into mixed high-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Solution for velocity, microrotation, temperature, and concentration has been obtained numerically. The equations were calculated using method bvp4c from Matlab software for various quantities of main parameters. The effects of various parameters on skin friction coefficient , wall duo stress coefficient - , and convection mass transfer coefficient - are analysed and presented through the graphs and tables. The convergence test has been maintained. For the number of points greater than the suitable mesh number of points, the precision is not influenced but the set time is increased. Moreover, a comparison with a previous paper, obtainable in the literature, has been presented and an excellent agreement is obtained. The findings indicate that an increase in the values of nonisothermal parameters ( m , P ), magnetic Ma, thermal and solutal nonlinear convection ( , s ) parameter, and Soret number is to enhance the temperature difference between the boundary layer and ambient fluid to diffuse which increases the velocity profile and their boundary layer thicknesses near the surface of the sphere.
