Abstract

This communication explores the significance of suction/injection for gravity modulation mixed convection in micropolar fluid flow due to an inclined sheet in the presence of magnetic field and thermal radiation. In recent years, very extensive modern technological applications have rise the interest in mixed convection controlled by g-jitter forces associated with microgravity. The novelty of the present study is effects of g-jitter on dynamics of micropolar fluid adjustable inclination to the sheet taken into account. Mathematical formulation based on usual laws of conservation is non dimensionalized with emerging parameters through implementation of similarity transform to yield a corresponding set of partial differential equations. In the face of convective non linearity combined with coupling due to mixed convection and micropolarity, a finite element discretization is harnessed to be coded and run on Matlab platform. The credibility of numerical procedure is assured for its acceptable adoption with the established results. The growing strength of amplitude of modulation is showing proportional decrease and increase in the fluctuation of heat transfer and skin friction coefficients, and the fluctuation of reduced skin friction factor, couple stress, and Nusselt number improves with larger inputs of amplitude. These findings would be helpful to experts dealing with upper space heat transportation, performance of materials such as crystals and effectiveness of chemical catalytic reactors.
