Abstract: In this present work, the problem of heat and mass transfer on the flow of Non-newtonian micropolar fluid with uniform suction/blowing with heat generation, radiation, thermophoresis and chemical reaction effects are studied. The non-linear partial differential equation arising from the flow modeling were transformed into coupled non linear ordinary differential equations and subsequently solved by using the implicit finite difference method. The effect of relevant thermo physical parameters such as material parameter K, suction parameter A, heat generation/absorption parameter B, Prandtl number Pr, radiation parameter R, thermophoretic parameter t, chemical reaction parameter d , magnetic parameter Ha and Schmidt number Sc are also being numerically investigated and analyzed.

Keywords: MHD, micro polar fluid, heat generation, thermophoresis, radiation and finite difference scheme.
