Numerical treatment of cross-diffusion impact on heat and mass transfer with magnetic radiation of micropolar fluid flow over a porous stretching surface

Cross-diffusion effects are essential in industry because they can improve process efficiency, optimize product development, improve environmental sustainability, and drive technological advancements. The effects of cross-diffusion, aligned magnetization, and radiation are considered and adequately reported on the micropolar fluid boundary layer. The momentum, energy, and species reaction models are utilized to quantitatively represent the flow equations containing the thermophysical parameters at an aligned angle. The described fluid models are transformed into ordinary systems of derivatives. The solution to the resulting equations is determined via Fehlberg Runge–Kutta. The impacts of related terms are presented on various plots. The investigation revealed that the aligned angle strengthens magnetic field parameters, which can also lower the flow. For injection cases, microrotation has a parabolic distribution. An inclined value of radiation term contributed to improving the temperature profile. Temperature and concentration profiles rise and decrease with the Soret number, affecting heat, and species transport rates. The porosity and the thermal buoyancy parameter exhibit conflicting behaviors for both the coefficient of plate drag and the couple stress.
