Popis: The effect of suction/injection in the laminar free convection flow of a thermomicropolar fluid past a nonuniformly heated vertical flat plate has been considered. The conditions under which similarity exists have been examined. The resulting system of non-linear ordinary differential equations has been solved numerically after transforming the infinite domain of boundary layer coordinate into a finite domain. The effects of variation of the boundary condition parameter and suction/injection parameter on the velocity, microrotation and temperature fields and the heat transfer coefficient have been studied graphically. The skin-friction parameter and the gradient of microrotation on the wall have been tabulated. It is found that there is significant increase in velocity, skin-friction and the heat transfer coefficient with the decreasing concentration of microelements.
