Numerical Solutions of Free Convection Boundary Layer Flow on a Solid Sphere With Newtonian Heating in a Micropolar Fluid

In this paper, the problem of free convection boundary layer flow on a solid sphere in a micropolar fluid with Newtonian heating, in which the heat transfer from the surface is proportional to the local surface temperature, is considered. The transformed boundary layer equations in the form of...
