Slip effect on an unsteady MHD stagnation-point flow of a micropolar fluid towards a shrinking sheet with thermophoresis effect

The effect of slip and thermophoresis on an unsteady magnetohydrodynamic stagnation-point-flow micropolar fluid with heat and mass transfer towards a shrinking sheet has been investigated. The governing equations are reduced to a system of non-dimensional partial differential equations by using simi...
