Abstract: Due to their unique microstructures, micropolar fluids have attracted enormous attention due to their potential for industrial application, including convective heat and mass transfer polymer production and the rigid and random cooling of particles for metallic sheets. In this context, a micropolar second-grade fluid flow over a vertical Riga plate is investigated for hidden microstructures. The novelty of the flow model allows us to explore the significance of Brownian motion and thermophoresis on the dynamics of non-Newtonian fluid. A mathematical model is developed under the flow assumptions for micropolar second-grade fluid over a vertical Riga plate of PDEs, reducing them into ODEs by invoking similarity techniques. The acquired system of non-linear ODEs is elucidated numerically using bvp4c methodology. Furthermore, comparative tables are generated to confirm the bvp4c technique, ensuring the accuracy of our numerical approach. This rheological study of micropolar second-grade fluid suggests that temperature distribution increases due to variations in the micropolar parameter ( K ), Eckert number ( Ec ), and the thermophoresis parameter ( Nt ), and the concentration distribution (Φ( η )) keeps rising against the boosting values of Brownian motion ( Nb ); however, the inverse trend is noted against thermophoresis ( Nt ).
