In the previous decennium, considerable applications ofnanoparticles have been developed in the area of science. Nanoparticles with micropolar fluid suspended in conventional fluids can increase the heat transfer. Micropolar fluids have attracted much research attention because of their use in industrial processes. Exotic lubricants, liquid crystal solidification, cooling of a metallic plate in a bath, extrusion of metals and polymers, drawing of plastic films, manufacturing of glass and paper sheets, and colloidal suspension solutions are just a few examples. The primary goal of this studywas to see how radiation and velocity slip affect the mixed convection of sodium alginate nanofluid flow over a non-isothermal wedge in a saturated porous media.In this communication, theTiwari and Das model was employed to investigate the micropolarnanofluid flow via mixed convection over aradiated wedge in a saturated porous medium with the velocity slip condition. Nanoparticles of silver (Ag) wreused in asodium alginate base fluid. The intended system of governing equations is converted to a set of ordinary differential equations and then solved applying the finite difference method. Variousfluid flows, temperatures, and physical quantities of interest were examined. The effects of radiation on the skin friction are negligible in the case of forced and mixed convection, whereas radiation increases the skin friction in free convection. It is demonstrated that the pressure gradient, solid volume fraction, radiation, and slip parameters enhance the Nusselt number, whereas the micropolar parameter reduces the Nusselt number.
