摘要：

The present paper deals with the problem of steady, magnetohydrodynamic laminar double-diffusive convection heat and mass transfer of a micropolar fluid over a vertical permeable semi-infinite plate embedded in a uniform porous medium in the presence of non-linear thermal radiation. In addition, the present model allows the influence of heat generation/absorption and first-order chemical reaction. The governing equations are solved efficiently by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method with shooting technique. The effects of thermal buoyancy ratio, Schmidt number, chemical reaction parameter, heat generation/absorption and surface suction/injection on the fluid velocity, microrotation, temperature and solute concentration are analyzed. It is found that increase in the inverse Darcy number results in decrease in the velocity and microrotation distributions whereas reverse effects are seen on the temperature and concentration distributions. Also, it is observed that with increase in the magnetic parameter there is decrease in the velocity and microrotation gradient whereas reverse effects are noticed on the temperature and concentration distributions. © 2016, Springer India Pvt.
