Thermophoretic particle deposition on magnetohydrodynamic flow of micropolar fluid due to a rotating disk

An investigation is made to study the micropolar fluid flow of transient thermophoretic particle deposition of forced convective unsteady heat and mass transfer flow due to a rotating disk in the presence of uniform magnetic field. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed using similarity transformation and the numerical methods are discussed using Nachtsheim-Swigert shooting iteration technique along with sixth order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. The obtained results show that the Nusselt number increases with an increase in the unsteadiness parameter. The results also show that micro-rotational tangential velocity decreases with the increase of the magnetic parameter. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
