Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media

In this article, we consider the problem of fully developed natural convection heat and mass transfer of a micropolar fluid between porous vertical plates with asymmetric wall temperatures and concentrations. The resulting boundary-value problem is solved analytically by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Profiles for velocity and microrotation are presented for a range of values of the Reynolds number and the micropolar parameter.
