Flow and Heat Transfer over an Unsteady Stretching Sheet in a Micropolar Fluid with Convective Boundary Condition

This article is concerned with the flow of micropolar fluid over an unsteady stretching surface with convective boundary condition. The governing partial differential equations are first converted into ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformations and then solved for the series s...
