This article analyzes the significance of linear and quadratic convection on the dynamics of micropolar fluid due to a stretching surface in the presence of magnetic force and a rotational frame. Modern technological implementations have attracted researchers to inquire about non-Newtonian fluids, so the effect of linear and nonlinear convection conditions is accounted for in the dynamics of non-Newtonian fluid. The highly nonlinear governing equations are converted into a system of dimensionless ODEs by using suitable similarity transformations. The bvp4c technique is applied in MATLAB software to obtain a numerical solution. This investigation examines the behavior of various parameters with and without quadratic convection on the micro-rotation, velocity, and temperature profiles via graphical consequences. The velocity profile decreases with a higher input by magnetic and rotating parameters, and fluid velocity is more elevated in the nonlinear convection case. However, the temperature profile shows increasing behavior for these parameters and quadratic convection increases the velocity profile but has an opposite tendency for the temperature distribution. The micro-rotation distribution is augmented for higher magnetic inputs in linear convection but reduces against thermal buoyancy.
