A mathematical model is presented for analyzing the flow of magneto-micropolar nanofluid above a convectively heated permeable stretching sheet with nonlinear radiation, chemical reaction, and viscous dissipation. Similarity transformation is utilized to change the governing partial differential equations to the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The resulting system of ODEs is sorted out mathematically by utilizing the shooting method with the Adams-Moulton method of fourth order, and the obtained mathematical outcomes are compared with published results. The obtained numerical results reflect very good agreement with those from open literature. Numerical values of physical quantities like skin friction coefficient, Sherwood number, and Nusselt number for emerging parameters such as , etc. are also computed and discussed in this work. The impact of pertinent flow parameters on nondimensional velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles is illustrated via tables and graphs.
