In the present article, the heat transfer rate and the fluid flow of a micropolar fluid along with temperature-dependent transport properties are scrutinized in the presence of heat generation. The variability in transport properties leads to a rise in the heat transfer and decreases the skin friction. Furthermore, Fourier's heat flux model is implemented in the analysis of heat transfer, employing a suitable transformation to convert the flow model into nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Numerical solutions are obtained by using the shooting method/bvp4c technique. Physical quantities of interest, such as local skin friction and Nusselt number, are discussed and computed. Skin friction decreases with the micropolar parameter but the Nusselt number shows the opposite behavior for the micropolar parameter.
