The thesis is concerned with the manifestation of micropolar fluid theory taking into account the thermal effects. We formulated mathematical problems with appropriate slip and spin boundary conditions. The first problem talks about the mixed convection flow of a microploar fluid with concentration in a vertical channel in the presence of heat source or sink and solved under slip and spin boundary conditions. The second problem discusses the mixed convection flow of a micropolar fluid in a vertical double-passage with slip and spin boundary conditions. Finally, the third problem discusses the transient natural convective flow of a micropolar fluid between two vertical walls with slip and spin boundary conditions. It is solved analytically in the Laplace domain using the state space approach. The inversion of Laplace transform is performed using a numerical approach. The results of the above problems are discussed and represented graphically.
