Abstract This study presents a similar solution for a free convective flow of a micropolar nanofluid through an orthogonal plate in a saturated porous medium under the impact of magnetic field. The internal heating generation and without internal heating generation in the problem are explained. A set of nonlinear differential equations was converted into ordinary differential equations by appropriate conversions. This system of equations was numerically solved using bvp4c function in Matlab. Numerical results for the angular velocity, velocity, temperature, Nusselt number, and skin friction are discussed. Calculations were done by parametrizing volume fraction parameter, micropolar, magnetic field, Darcy number, and the Prandtl number. Finally, this study intends to develop an intuitive understanding of similar models by emphasizing the physical arguments, which may be applicable for coating materials in chemical engineering, for instance, robust paints, production of aerosol deposition, and water‐soluble solution thermal treatment.
