The heat transfer and flow characteristics of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid in a permeable channel influenced by magnetic field is presented. The finite element method is utilized, providing the numerical solution for the set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that arise from non-dimensionalization of the governing equations. A graphical representation for the effects of the important parameters on flow and heat transmission is shown. Additionally, the rate of heat transfer and the wall friction coefficient are calculated. Streamlines are also depicted to further visualize the flow pattern. A comparison between the current numerical results and previously published data shows good agreement. The present study finds application in cooling systems of electronic devices.
