Abstract
The incompressible, steady and laminar micropolar fluid flow through a resistive porous medium between channel walls with mass and heat deportation, by considering the effect of heat generation, is studied numerically. The relevant PDEs governing the flow, heat and concentration are transmuted into nonlinear ordinary ones by employing the powerful tool of similarity transformation and consequently, eight parameters appeared in the final model. Afterward, Quasi-linearization (QL) technique is exploited to solve the relevant nonlinear coupled ODEs. The repercussion of preeminent parameters on flow, heat and mass transfer are deliberated and shown through graphs and tables. The effect of the heat generation is to enhance the rate of heat transfer at both walls of the channel.
