Numerical solution of micropolar fluid flow via stretchable surface with chemical reaction and melting heat transfer using Keller-Box method

The main theme of this research is to find the numerical results of stagnation point flow of micropolar fluid over a porous stretchable surface due to the physical effects of internal heat generation/absorption, melting heat transfer and chemical reaction via Keller-Box method (KBM). The graphs and tables are depicted and explained for various embedded parameters. The range of melting heat transfer parameter is 0 <= M <= 3, the range of chemical reaction parameter is 0 <= K-r <= 1 whereas the values of space-temperature dependent heat source/sink parameters lies in -0.4 <= Q <= 0.4 and -2 <= Q* <= 2. The upshots of the current problem illustrate that at fluid-solid interface, rate of HMT (heat and mass transfer) declined on escalating the values of stretching parameter. Moreover, as the values of internal heat source/sink parameter increases, heat transfer rate declines at fluid-solid interface. (C) 2021 Beihang University.
