    The purpose of this study was to investigate the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection flow and heat transfer of a dual stratified micropolar fluid over a vertical permeable stretching/ shrinking sheet with chemical reaction and heat source. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using an appropriate similarity transformation. Then, the obtained ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in MATLAB software. The numerical results are tabulated and plotted for the heat transfer characteristics, namely, the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, the local Sherwood number as well as the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for some values of the governing parameters. The present numerical results also have been compared with the previous reported results for a particular case and the comparisons are found to be in an excellent agreement. The results indicate that the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with chemical reaction and heat source. The magnitude of the local Sherwood number increases with the increasing of chemical reaction parameter. However, the magnitude of the local Sherwood number decreases with heat source effect.

    This study investigates the suction and magnetic field effects on the two-dimensional nanofluid flow through a stretching/shrinking sheet at the stagnation point in the porous medium with thermal radiation. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the similarity transformation. The resulting ODEs are then solved numerically by using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB software. It was found that dual solutions exist for the shrinking parameter values up to a certain range. The numerical results obtained are compared, and the comparison showed a good agreement with the existing results in the literature. The governing parameters’ effect on the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle fraction fields as well as the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are represented graphically and analyzed. The variation of the velocity, temperature and concentration increase with the increase in the suction and magnetic field parameters. It seems that the thermal radiation effect has increased the local Sherwood number while the local Nusselt number is reduced with it.

    The present study analyses the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a double stratified micropolar fluid across a vertical stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of suction, chemical reaction, and heat source effects. The governing equations in the form of partial differential equations are transitioned into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by means of similarity transformation. The numerical solutions are obtained with the aid of the boundary value problem bvp4c solver in the MATLAB software. Numerical results have been confirmed with the previous results for a certain case and the comparison is found to be in an excellent agreement. Results for related profiles and heat transfer characteristics are displayed through plots and tabulated for the governing parameters involved. It is found that the reduced skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number increase with the increasing chemical reaction and heat source parameters. The rising values of the chemical reaction parameter have increased the magnitude of the local Sherwood number. In contrary, the heat source parameter has the tendency to decrease the magnitude of the local Sherwood number.
