Abstract
The combined effect of viscous dissipation and Joule heating on the flow and heat transfer of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a stretching surface with variable wall heat flux in the presence of heat generation/absorption is investigated. The local similarity solutions of the transformed equations describing the problem are solved numerically. The effects of various physical parameters on the flow, micro-rotation and temperature profiles are presented graphically. The numerical results of the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number
are given in a tabular form then discussed.
