Abstract
The heat and mass transfer due to the steady laminar and incompressible micropolar fluid flow through a rectangular duct with the slip flow and convective boundary conditions are numerically calculated. The fluid moves under an external magnetic field applied on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the duct. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations of momentum, microrotation, induction, and the energy are solved simultaneously by the finite difference method. The effect of various numbers and parameters such as Reynolds, magnetic Reynolds, Hartmann, coupling, Brinkman numbers, the slip flow and convective parameters are presented in graphs. Some comparisons with previous works are included.
