In order to solve this problem the method of finite differences was applied. The numerical results have been presented for a range of values of the dimensionless material properties and fluid Prandtl number. The analysis of the results shows that the intensity of the heat transfer in micropolar fluid is lower compared to the Newtonian fluid.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The effect of reduced heat transfer in a micropolar fluid in natural convection}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/94421/PDF/03_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/aoter-2013-0014}, keywords={Micro polar fluid, Microrocation, Boundary layer theory, Local Nusselt number}, }
