Abstract

This study investigates the behavior of micropolar Eyring-Powell ferrofluids over a stretchable surface, considering heterogeneous-homogeneous chemical reactions, thermal radiation, and magnetic dipole effects. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using similarity transformations, which are then solved using the shooting method with Runge-Kutta updates. The effects of various parameters on the flow and temperature fields are computed and visualized using MATLAB 2023. The results show that the velocity field decreases with increasing ferro-magnetic parameter β and fluid material parameter ß, while the temperature field increases with thermal radiation R, but decreases with higher dissipation parameter λ1 and Prandtl number Pr. The results are in excellent agreement with previously published data, validating the accuracy of our approach.
