AB - Present research article describes the effectiveness of improved Fourier-Fick  fluxes and temperature-dependent conductivity on the 2D, incompressible  steady micropolar material flow over a stretchable surface. Nonlinear mixed  convection, double stratification and heat generation aspects are  considered. The considered flow nonlinear partial differential equations are  converted to ordinary equations via appropriate transformations. Through  implementation of homotopy method the obtain system is solved for series  solutions. The effects of pertinent parameters are discussed through  graphical sketch. Skin friction coefficient (drag force) is calculated. Main  findings are pointed out.
