An analysis of steady two‐dimensional flow, of an electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium, occupying a semi‐infinite region of the space bounded by an infinite, vertical and porous limiting surface under the action of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Approximate solutions have been derived for the velocity and temperature fields and the rate of heat transfer (Nusselt number). The variations of the velocity and Nusselt number are shown on graphs.
