Abstract
Here, improved Fourier’s expression is utilized for heat transfer in nonlinear convection flow of micropolar liquid. The flow is generated due to a stretchable surface with variable thickness. Application of non-Fourier conduction phenomenon illustrates the characteristics of thermal relaxation factor. Temperature-dependent conductivity of liquid is also adopted. The set of partial differential equations governing the flow of micropolar liquid and heat transfer through non-Fourier heat conduction concept is established. The relevant transformations provide the highly nonlinear ordinary differential system. Homotopy theory is employed to acquire convergent solutions for nonlinear differential systems. Coefficient of skin friction is computed and examined for distinct embedded variables. Our presented analysis shows that temperature is decaying for larger thermal relaxation time.
