Stagnation-point flow towards a strecthing surface immersed in a micropolar fluid with prescribed surface heat flux

The steady two dimensional boundary layer flow adjacent to the stagnation point on a stretching surface immersed in a micropolar fluid was investigated. The stretching and the free stream velocities were assumed to vary linearly from the stagnation point. The governing partial differential equations...
