The main equations are computationally solved via shooting techniques in the company with Runge-Kutta algorithms. The impact of the prominent controlling parameters is graphically checked on the velocity, temperature, microrotation, entropy generation, and Bejan number. An excellent relationship exists between the results obtained with related studies previously reported in the literature in the limiting conditions. More so, it is revealed by the findings that the irreversibility due to heat transfer is dominant over viscous dissipation irreversibility as the radiation parameter advances while the trend changes with the Brikman number parameter.
