Variable viscosity effect on heat transfer over a continuous moving surface with variable internal heat generation in micropolar fluids

The effect of temperature-dependent viscosity on heat transfer over a continuous moving surface with variable internal heat generation in micropolar fluids is studied. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as inverse linear function of temperature. The governing equations are transformed into dimensionless forms using the stream function and suitable variables then solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta numerical integration, procedure in conjunction with shooting technique. A parametric study illustrating the influence of the viscosity parameter, heat source generation and micropolar parameter on the velocity, microrotation and temperature profiles skin friction, couple stress as well as the Nusselt are investigated. The results of the parametric study are shown in graphic and tabulated.
