摘要：

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.
