Influence of thermal radiation on flow and heat transferstudy has become more important industrially The heattransfer and temperature profile of a micropolar fluid overdifferent geometries can be affected significantly at hightemperature Bhattacharyya et al [26] considered thermalradiation effect on micropolar fluid flow and heat transferover a porous shrinking sheet Hussain et al [27] analyzedradiation effects on the thermal boundary layer flow ofa micropolar fluid towards a permeable stretching sheetOahimire and Olajuwon [28] investigated the influence ofHall current and thermal radiation on heat and mass transferof a chemically reacting MHD flow of a micropolar fluidthrough a porous medium Mabood et al [29] studiedeffects of nonuniform heat sourcesink and Soret on MHDnon-Darcian convective flow past a stretching sheet in amicropolar fluid with radiation

The effect of heat generation on heat transfer is an impor-tant issue in view of various physical problems Ziabakhshet al [30] analyzed the micropolar fluid flow with heatgeneration Singh and Kumar [31] considered the meltingeffect in stagnation-point flow of micropolar fluid towardsa stretchingshrinking surface Bakr [32] investigated theeffects of chemical reaction and heat source magnetoconvec-tion andmass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in a rotatingframe of reference The heat generationabsorption effectson MHD flow and heat transfer of micropolar fluid througha stretching surface have been proposed by Mahmoud andWaheed [33] Abbasi et al [34] examined the flow ofMaxwellnanofluid in the presence of heat generationabsorptionMliki et al [35] investigated the influence of nanoparti-cle Brownian motion and heat generationabsorption overlinearsinusoidally heated cavity in the presence of mag-netohydrodynamic natural convection Sheikholeslami andGanji [36] studied three-dimensional heat and mass transferflow of nanofluid over a rotating system Thermal radiationeffects on mixed convection flow and heat transfer of amicropolar fluid through an unsteady stretching surfacewith heat generationabsorption are presented by Singh andKumar [37]

Motivated by the above studies and applications thepresent work explores effects of chemical reaction on heatandmass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid over a permeablechannel in the presence of radiation and heat generationThe equations of continuity momentum angular momen-tum energy and concentration have been reduced to asystem of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by sim-ilarity transforms which are solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlbergmethod with shooting technique It is expected that theresults obtained from present paper will provide importantinformation to the audience To the best of our knowledgesuch type of study is not investigated before in the scientificliterature

Influence of thermal radiation on flow and heat transferstudy has become more important industrially The heattransfer and temperature profile of a micropolar fluid overdifferent geometries can be affected significantly at hightemperature Bhattacharyya et al [26] considered thermalradiation effect on micropolar fluid flow and heat transferover a porous shrinking sheet Hussain et al [27] analyzedradiation effects on the thermal boundary layer flow ofa micropolar fluid towards a permeable stretching sheetOahimire and Olajuwon [28] investigated the influence ofHall current and thermal radiation on heat and mass transferof a chemically reacting MHD flow of a micropolar fluidthrough a porous medium Mabood et al [29] studiedeffects of nonuniform heat sourcesink and Soret on MHDnon-Darcian convective flow past a stretching sheet in amicropolar fluid with radiation

The effect of heat generation on heat transfer is an impor-tant issue in view of various physical problems Ziabakhshet al [30] analyzed the micropolar fluid flow with heatgeneration Singh and Kumar [31] considered the meltingeffect in stagnation-point flow of micropolar fluid towardsa stretchingshrinking surface Bakr [32] investigated theeffects of chemical reaction and heat source magnetoconvec-tion andmass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid in a rotatingframe of reference The heat generationabsorption effectson MHD flow and heat transfer of micropolar fluid througha stretching surface have been proposed by Mahmoud andWaheed [33] Abbasi et al [34] examined the flow ofMaxwellnanofluid in the presence of heat generationabsorptionMliki et al [35] investigated the influence of nanoparti-cle Brownian motion and heat generationabsorption overlinearsinusoidally heated cavity in the presence of mag-netohydrodynamic natural convection Sheikholeslami andGanji [36] studied three-dimensional heat and mass transferflow of nanofluid over a rotating system Thermal radiationeffects on mixed convection flow and heat transfer of amicropolar fluid through an unsteady stretching surfacewith heat generationabsorption are presented by Singh andKumar [37]

Motivated by the above studies and applications thepresent work explores effects of chemical reaction on heatandmass transfer flow of a micropolar fluid over a permeablechannel in the presence of radiation and heat generationThe equations of continuity momentum angular momen-tum energy and concentration have been reduced to asystem of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by sim-ilarity transforms which are solved by Runge-Kutta-Fehlbergmethod with shooting technique It is expected that theresults obtained from present paper will provide importantinformation to the audience To the best of our knowledgesuch type of study is not investigated before in the scientificliterature

5 Conclusions

The present paper deals with numerical analysis of chem-ical reaction effects on heat and mass transfer flow of amicropolar fluid over a permeable channel in the presenceof radiation and heat generation The system of nonlinearpartial differential equations was converted to a system ofordinary differential equations and then is solved numericallyusing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlbergmethod along with shootingmethod From the above discussion the important results aresummarized as follows

(i) Velocity and Reynolds number are inversely propor-tional to each other at lower channel wall while

The computation of the error can be achieved by subtractingthe fifth-order from the fourth-order method

If the error goes beyond a specified antechamber the resultscan be recalculated using a smaller step size The approach tocomputing the new step size is shown as follows

5 Conclusions

The present paper deals with numerical analysis of chem-ical reaction effects on heat and mass transfer flow of amicropolar fluid over a permeable channel in the presenceof radiation and heat generation The system of nonlinearpartial differential equations was converted to a system ofordinary differential equations and then is solved numericallyusing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlbergmethod along with shootingmethod From the above discussion the important results aresummarized as follows

(i) Velocity and Reynolds number are inversely propor-tional to each other at lower channel wall while

5 Conclusions

The present paper deals with numerical analysis of chem-ical reaction effects on heat and mass transfer flow of amicropolar fluid over a permeable channel in the presenceof radiation and heat generation The system of nonlinearpartial differential equations was converted to a system ofordinary differential equations and then is solved numericallyusing the Runge-Kutta-Fehlbergmethod along with shootingmethod From the above discussion the important results aresummarized as follows

(i) Velocity and Reynolds number are inversely propor-tional to each other at lower channel wall while
