Free convection boundary layer on a sphere with constant surface heat flux in a micropolar fluid

The present paper considers the steady laminar free convection boundary layer flow over an a sphere with a surface heat flux place in a micropolar fluid. The governing boundary layer equations are first transformed into a non-dimensional and the resulting nonlinear system partial differential equati...
