This work uses a thermal non-equilibrium model to study the free convection boundary layer flow from cylinders of elliptic cross-section with uniform suction or injection in a micropolar fluid through a porous medium in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The transformed conservation equations of the nonsimilar boundary layers are solved numerically by the shooting technique with a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme and the results compare very well with published results. The results obtained are displayed graphically to illustrate the influences of different physical parameters on the local heat transfer rate (Nusselt number) for the fluid and solid phases, velocity, angular velocity and streamlines.
