In this paper, natural convection MHD effect on Heat transfer in vertical cylinder is analyzed. Firstly heat transfer equation and convert it in dimensionless form by introducing dimensionless variables has considered. By use of finite Hankel and inverse Hankel transforms in dimensionless heat transfer equation, the values of temperature and Nusselt number is obtained. Finally, graphical representation is used to study the effect of Prandtl number pr on temperature and Nusselt number Nu. It is observed that the fluid at the center region of the cylinder is not heated for value of Prandtl number Pr greater than 1.7 for small values of t.
