AB - Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid flows attract a lot of attention in the  extrusion of polymers, in the theory of nanofluids, as well as in the  consideration of biological fluids. The considered problem in the paper is  the flow and heat transfer of nano and micropolar fluid in inclined channel.  Fluid flow is steady, while nano and micropolar fluids are incompressible,  immiscible, and electrically conductive. The upper and lower channel plates  are electrically insulated and maintained at constant and different  temperatures. External applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the fluid  flow and considered problem is in induction-less approximation. The  equations of the considered problem are reduced to ordinary differential  equations, which are analytically solved in closed form. The influence of  characteristics parameters of nano and micropolar fluids on velocity,  micro-rotation and temperature fields are graphically shown and discussed.  The general conclusions given through the analysis of graphs can be used for  better understanding of the flow and heat transfer of nano and micropolar  fluid, which have a great practical application. Fluids with nanoparticles  innovated the modern era, due to their comprehensive applications in  nanotechnology and manufacturing processes, while the theory of micropolar  fluids explains the flow of biological fluids and various types of liquid  metals and crystals.
