An analysis is presented to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristic of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by two long vertical parallel plates in the presence of a uniform magnetic field applied transversely to the flow. The governing momentum and energy equations are solved by the Laplace transform technique and the solutions are presented for velocity and temperature distributions and shear stress. The effects of the four parameters, namely, the Darcy number, viscosity ratio parameter, magnetic Hartmann number, and Prandtl number on temperature and velocity distributions are shown in graphs and presented through the results and discussion. Also, the effects of these four parameters on skin friction are given.
