Heat transfer in micropolar boundary layer flow over a flat plate

Boundary layer solutions are presented to study the steady state heat transfer from a semi-infinite flat plate to a micropolar fluid. The boundary conditions of isothermal wall, constant surface heat flux and insulated wall with viscous dissipation effects have been treated in this paper. Numerical results for the temperature distribution and the missing wall values of the thermal functions have been given. The range of Prandtl numbers investigated was from 10 to 1000 while the dimensionless grouping of the material properties was allowed to vary over a wide range.
