Abstract
This article emphasizes the influence of convective boundary condition on mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid over a truncated cone with Soret and viscous dissipation effects. The governing micropolar fluid flow equations are non-dimensionalized using suitable non-similarity transformations. Several authors have applied the spectral quasilinearization method to solve the ordinary differential equations, but here the resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are solved for non-similarity solution by using a newly developed method called the spectral quasilinearization method (SQLM). The comparison of convection process namely free, forced and mixed convection on the micropolar fluid is provided in detail. The convergence and error analysis are also discussed to test the accuracy of the spectral method. From the results, it perceived that with the rise in viscous dissipation parameter, the wall couple stress coefficient and Nusselt number reduce, but velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient and Sherwood number increase for both in the absence and in the presence of Soret number.
