We investigate the effect of a magnetic field perpendicular to the flow direction on a nanofluid flowing through a porous medium. We derive the governing equations of the model, taking into account heat transfer mechanisms and the thermophysical properties of the suspension as boundary conditions. We reduce the resulting partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations, for which we obtain a numerical approximate solution using the bvp4c method. We illustrate the effect of the parameters on the flow process using figures.
