Abstract

Micropolar nanofluid belongings on stable stagnation point flow with heat and mass transmission constrained by a vertical elongating sheet are swatted. The conveyance model comprehends the effects of the Brownian motion and thermophoresis in the manifestation of first-order chemical reaction. Consuming similarity alteration, the governing equations are renovated into a collection of nonlinear ordinary differential equations coupled with fitting preliminary conditions which are explained numerically by Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg integration pattern with shooting procedure. The physical traits of the problem are conferred through graphs and tables.
