In this paper, micropolar nanofluid boundary layer flow over a linear inclined stretching surface with the magnetic effect is investigated. Buongiorno’s model utilized in this study for the thermal efficiencies of the fluid flow in the presence of Brownian motion and thermophoresis properties. The nonlinear problem for micropolar nanofluid flow over an inclined sheet is established to study the heat and mass exchange phenomenon by considering portent flow parameters to strengthen the boundary layers. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are changed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and then solved numerically by applying the Keller-Box method. A comparison of the setup results in the absence of the incorporated impacts is performed with the accessible results and perceived in a decent settlement. Numerical and graphical outcomes are additionally presented in tables and diagrams.
