Micropolar ferrofluid flow via natural convective about a radiative isoflux sphere

Current investigation scrutinizes the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection flow of micropolar ferrofluid across an isoflux sphere with the impacts of thermal radiation and partial slip. Cobalt-nanoparticles with kerosene as the base fluid are considered. The governing partial differential conservation equations and convenient boundary conditions are rendered into a nondimensional form. The finite difference method (FDM) is then applied to determine the solution of a collection of resultant equations. The outcomes obtained by FDM have also compared with cited investigation. Illustrations describing influences of prominent parameters which provides physical interpretations of velocity, angular velocity, and temperature fields as well as the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are examined in detail with the help of graphical representations. This investigation determined that the skin-friction coefficient and heat transport rate reduced along with augmentation in the magnetic force and micropolar parameter, while opposite performance is adhered with elevating in the thermal radiation. Moreover, the boosted nanoparticle volume fraction reduced the skin friction coefficient and improved the Nusselt number.
