Abstract

Many physical aspects emerging from the local structure and micromotions of liquid particles can be studied by utilizing the governing model of micropolar liquid. It has the ability to explain the behavior of a wide range of real fluids, including polymeric solutions, liquid crystals, lubricants, and animal blood. This earned it a major role in the treatment of many industrial and engineering applications. Radiative heat transmission induced by a combined convection flow of micropolar fluid over a solid sphere, and its enhancement via nanoparticle oxides, are investigated in this study. An applied magnetic field and a constant wall temperature are also considered. The Tiwari–Das model is used to construct the mathematical model. An approximate numerical solution is included using the Keller box method, in which its numerical calculations are performed via MATLAB software, to obtain numerical results and graphic outputs reflecting the effects of critical parameters on the physical quantities associated with heat transfer. The investigation results point out that a weakness in the intensity of the magnetic field, or an increment in the nanoparticle volume fraction, causes an increment in velocity. Raising the radiation parameter promotes energy transport, angular velocity, and velocity.
