Abstract :
The present study describes Magnetohydrodynamic micropolar uid over a
curved stretching surface, based on Cattaneo-Christov theory of heat diffusion. In this
paper, the new heat model with the relaxation time is employed in this paper, instead of
classical theory of heat ux presented by Fourier. The curvilinear coordinates are used
to model the governing equations. The nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
are changed into Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) through a proper transformation
process. The nonlinear ODEs are solved with the help of OHAM by using BVPh2. The
variation of several parameters is indicated and examined graphically. We have observed
that the pressure and velocity rises by increasing the radius of curvature. The thermal
relaxation time and Prandtl number reduces the temperature profile.
