The present work gives out the heat and mass transfer effect of micropolar nanofluid flow. The fluid viscosity is assumed as temperature dependent and it varies linearly. The radiative heat flux and the viscous dissipation are also considered in the energy equation. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been transformed into system of ordinary differential equation and explained numerically through fourth order Runge-Kutta method with shooting technique. Fluid properties such as velocity, angular velocity, temperature, and concentration are analyzed graphically for a range of solid volume fraction (0<ɸ<2) of nanosolid particles.
