The present work deals with an inclined magnetohydrodynamic flow of a micropolar fluid occurring between two stretchable disks rotating co-axially at a constant distance apart by taking into account higher order chemical reaction effects. Using similarity variables the Navier–Stokes equations, which represent the momentum, microrotation, energy, and concentration, are transformed into ordinary differential equations. The transformed conservation equations are solved numerically by using the Nachtsheim–Swigert shooting iteration technique along with sixth-order Runge–Kutta integration scheme. The influence of governing parameters are shown graphically and discussed. It was observed that an increase in the aligned angle strengthens the applied magnetic field and decreases the momentum boundary layer profiles of the micropolar fluid flow. Heat transfer rate reduces for larger values of chemical reaction Cr for both n = 1 and n = 2.
