This study investigates MHD and Brinkman number on mixed convection flow in a two parallel-plates vertical channel with reference to laminar, thermal and hydrodynamical developing flow of Newtonian fluid. The boundaries are considered to be isothermal with equal temperatures. The governing equations are solved numerically. Also, their dependence upon certain material parameters have been studied. Velocity, temperature, pressure gradient and Nusselt number profiles have also been presented.
