What is it about?
In this study, we examined how a micropolar fluid flows along a stretching surface under the combined influence of a magnetic field, thermal radiation, viscous heating, chemical reactions, and heat generation or absorption. The results show that stronger magnetic fields and micropolar effects slow down the fluid flow, while viscous dissipation and heat generation raise the fluid temperature. Thermal radiation and chemical reactions tend to reduce both temperature and solute concentration near the surface. These findings highlight the importance of controlling magnetic, thermal, and chemical effects to manage fluid flow, heat transfer, and solute transport, with potential applications in biomedical engineering, chemical processing, and polymer manufacturing.

Why is it important?
The results show that stronger magnetic fields and micropolar effects slow down the flow, while viscous dissipation and heat generation raise the fluid temperature. Thermal radiation and chemical reactions reduce both temperature and solute concentration near the surface. Understanding these effects is important for applications in biomedical engineering, such as targeted drug delivery and blood flow modeling, as well as in industrial processes involving non-Newtonian fluids, heat transfer, and chemical reactions.
Perspectives
Micropolar Fluid Flow Biomedical applications – Results inform blood flow modeling, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. Magnetic control – Dynamic magnetic fields could guide fluid or particle motion in microfluidic applications. Heat and mass management – Radiation, viscous dissipation, and heat sources can optimize thermal or chemical processes. Realistic modeling – Extending to 3D, two-phase flows, or complex non-Newtonian fluids increases real-world relevance. Chemical transport – Insights help efficiently deliver solutes or nanoparticles to desired locations. Optimized and personalized systems – Tailored parameters could enable precise fluid, heat, and solute control in medical or industrial systems.
