Abstract
The current article examined the semi-analytical solution for the rate of entropy generation in
a steady, gravitydriven thin film flow of a micropolar fluid descending over a heated inclined substrate
with slip constraints. A comprehensive semi-analytical approach (differential transformation method
(DTM)) was instrumental in obtaining the solution of the nonlinear governing model. The characteristics
of velocity, angular velocity, heat balance, entropy generation, skin-friction, wall couple stress, Nusselt
number and Bejan number have been deliberated under the influence of involved flow controlling
physical parameters. The outcomes of the present study shows that an incline in values of Microrotation
parameter declines the velocity gradient and inclines thermal, dimensionless Bejan number and entropy
generation profiles.
