The closed form solutions of velocity field and temperature are obtained. The influence of various pertinent parameters on the flow characteristics, the temperature and the heat transfer coefficient are discussed through graphs. %N 3 %K Heat Transfer, Magnetic Field, Newtonian Fluid, Porous Medium, Reynolds Number. %P 105-110 %V 1 %D 2011 %I CurrentSciDirect Publications %L cogprints7610
