Summary:The present investigation addresses MHD flow of micropolar nanofluid model with microstructure and inertial features of the substructure particles. Consequences of magnetic field on micropolar ferrofluid flow is studied. Features of heat and mass transfer are scrutinized with thermophoresis, Brownian motion and thermal radiation. Magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles are taken in convectional base fluid like water. Suitable transformations are employed for converting governing dimensional nonlinear equations into dimensionless expressions. A semi-analytic method is implemented for solving the resultant system. Behavior of several variables on the fluid flow is scrutinized and represented graphically.
