Introduction
The majority of fundamental fluid mechanics problems widely found in nature are convection flow and also complexity arising from nonlinearity in model. The physical properties and complex rheological characteristics of non-Newtonian materials is completely explained by using constitutive relation like microstructural features which classical Navier–Stokes fluid dynamic model cannot be accurately described. Various non-Newtonian fluid models are presented earlier and from these, micropolar fluid is the classification of non-Newtonian fluid because capable of sustaining both translational and rotatory motions. Micropolar fluids have the ability to support stress moments and body couples and are affected by the spin inertia. The most impressive theories in modern fluid mechanics titled micropolar fluid theory introduced by Eringen [11]. This type of flow received considerable attention due to the potential applications such as lubricants, liquid crystals, polymeric suspensions and many possible areas. Being, a very fashionable subject, simultaneous effect of heat and mass transfer on micropolar flows in the flat surface attract many investigators. Latest developments in micropolar are impressed by the work undertaken by Rees and Pop [29]. Later a technical note is presented by implementing radiation effects by Rees [27]. The magneto-hydrodynamic study of micropolar fluid flow through continuously moving plate has been reported by Rahman and Sattar [25]. Utilizing both Newtonian and non-Newtonian cases numerical solutions obtained for nonlinear stretching sheet by Bhargava et al. [6]. Novel analytical approach (DTM-Pade) implemented to study the effect of thermal radiation on magneto-micropolar fluid through continuously moving plate by Rashidi and Erfani [28], the results confirm that method is effective and convenient especially for boundary layer flows. The investigation dealing with temperature dependent convective flow of micropolar fluid due vertical flat plate analyzed numerically by Ramreddy and Pradeepa [26]. Micropolar fluid model induced by oblique moving plate carrying multi-physical consequences has been studied by Shamshuddin et al. [32]. Convergent series solution is implemented to study effect of thermal radiation on Marangoni convection flow of carbon–water nanofluid by Hayat et al. [14]. Recently, radiative micropolar fluid transport in non-Darcy porous medium with different effects was analyzed by Ferdows et al. [13]. Theoretical investigation has been conducted on non-Newtonian magnetized micropolar gas flow by Anwar Beg et al. [4]. They verified their solutions with different methods and obtained excellent correlation. Analytical study is conducted on the flow of conducting micropolar fluid by Anathaswamy et al. [2].
Buongiorno [7] claims that out of several slip transport features, the thermophoresis and Brownian movement attain prime importance. Thermophoresis phenomena spotted owing to mounting of reaction of non-identical particles, this phenomenon is because relocation change from massive structure molecules to a comprehensive temperature slope. The Brownian moment situation spotted owing to persistence bombardment of the molecules in neighborhood medium. This kind of gesture is the result of the strike with accessible aeriform/liquid molecules. Hayat et al. [15] analytically reported accelerated radiative flow of micropolar nanofluid additionally contains thermophoresis and Brownian motion effectiveness. Patel and Singh [23] imposed Brownian motion and Thermophoretic consequences on micropolar fluid encountered in stretched porous surface. Sabir et al. [31] established numerical solution for a stretchable plate on steady micropolar fluid utilizing the effects of thermophoresis and Brownian moment, observing that within the fluid medium thermophoresis is behind for carrying the molecules. Species reaction is also of considerable significance in flowing fluid along with the combined impact of heat and mass transfer. Such studies have vast applications in many industrial processes and also in physiological flows. Reaction is said to be homogeneous when it occurs uniformly through a given phase. Otherwise, reaction is called heterogeneous. Again, chemical reaction is of first order if rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration. Many investigators predicted the interesting properties of chemical reactions on micropolar fluid under different circumstances are Chamber and Young [8] described the effects of homogeneous first order chemical reactions in the neighborhood of a flat plate for destructive and generative reactions. Khan et al. [18] reported the comparative study with the effects of homogeneous–heterogeneous reaction considering Cason fluid. Khan and Alzahrani [16] studied the impacts of activation energy and binary chemical reaction in stagnation point flow of Walter-B nanofluid numerically. Abbas et al. [1] deliberated entropy optimized second order slip of a nanofluid assuming activation energy. Chaudhary and Jha [9] employed chemical reaction effects to micropolar fluid model to predict the heat transfer prospective in a vertical plate assuming slip flow regime. Sheri and Shamshuddin [35], [36] solved magnetohydrodynamic micropolar fluid flow utilizing finite element method with chemical reaction with an extension of Hall current. The interesting numerical simulations were based on Galerkin finite element method with excellent accuracy. A chain of research, Das [10], Shamshuddin et al. [34], Anjanna and Nagaraju [3], Fatunmbi and Agbolade [12], Tripathy et al. [37], Mishra et al. [20], Shamshuddin et al. [33] and Anwar Beg et al. [5] have designed models which are compelled by thermal distribution micropolar fluid of a chemical reaction. In these reported problems, the fluid reaction is formulated by considering destructive type of reactive species which has an application in combustion and identification of critical parameter value. Further studies of micropolar fluid dynamics includes [21], [22].
In the present analysis, the novelty of the flow model is formulated with employment Thermophoretic diffusion, Brownian motion in heat equation and chemically reactive species in mass equation in thermal radiative flow of micropolar fluid through flat plate which is continuously moving. Previous results obtained on the considered fluid have motivated the present study as result of their significant to the technology and industrial advancement. The reduced problem is solved adopting homotopy analysis method to achieve approximate analytical solutions. Convergence of the series solution up to 40th order of approximation is presented in table as convergence of HAM solution strongly depends upon the convergence control parameters, curves also been represented graphically. The obtained results are in good agreement with previous results Wang [38], Mabood et al. [19], Khan and Pop [17] and Poornima and Reddy [24]. The present result clears a realistic fact that chemical reaction reduces the species concentration of the fluid flow. So, the importance dependence in various physiological functions is clearly shown.
