AB - In this paper, flow and heat transfer in a horizontal channel with isothermal  walls has been investigated. The upper and lower plate have been kept at the  two constant different temperatures, micropolar fluid is electrically  conducting, while the channel plates have arbitrary electrical-conductivity.  Applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the flow and the full MHD model is  investigated. The general equations that describe the discussed problem under  the adopted assumptions are reduced to ODE and closed-form solutions are  obtained. The profiles of velocity, microrotation, induced magnetic and  temperature fields in function of electrical-conductivity and the coupling  parameter and the spin-gradient viscosity parameter together with  electrical-conductivity, are graphically shown and discussed.
