Heat transfer from moving surfaces in a micropolar fluid

A boundary layer analysis is presented for the forced convection problem of a surface moving continuously in a flowing stream of a micropolar fluid. T wo cases are considered, one corresponding to a plane surface moving in par allel with the free stream and the other, a surface moving in the opposite direction to the free stream. A similarity solution to the governing moment um, angular momentum, and energy equations is derived. These equations were solved numerically and the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the m icropolar fluid are presented.
