Heat transfer over a stretching surface with uniform or variable heat flux in micropolar fluids
is investigated in this Letter. The boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary
differential equations, and then they are solved numerically by a finite-difference method.
The effects of the material parameter K, Prandtl number Pr, velocity exponent parameter m,
and heat flux exponent parameter n on the heat transfer characteristics are studied. It is
found that the local Nusselt number is higher for micropolar fluids compared to Newtonian …
