Abstract

The unsteady free convection boundary layer flow of a thermo-micropolar fluid along a vertical plate has been investigated in this paper. The temperature of the plate is assumed to be oscillating about a mean temperature, θ_w(x), with small amplitude ε. The governing boundary layer equations are analyzed using straight forward finite difference method. The effects of the material parameters such as micropolar heat conduction parameter, N*, the vortex viscosity parameter, K, on the shear stress,𝛕_w, surface heat transfer, q_w, and the couple-stress, m_w, have been investigated.
