This examination is carried out on the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic problem for a steady incompressible flow over a porous medium. The Cu−Al2O3 nanoparticles are added to the water base fluid in order to improve thermal efficiency. The transverse magnetic field with strength B0 is applied. The governing equations formed for the defined flow form a system of partial differential equations that are then converted to a system of ordinary differential equations upon applying the suitable similarity transformations. On analytically solving the obtained system, the solutions for velocity profile and temperature distribution are obtained in terms of exponential and Gamma functions, respectively. In addition, the physical parameter of interest, the local Nusselt number, is obtained. The results are analyzed through plotting graphs, and the effect of different parameters is analyzed. Furthermore, we observe that the suction/injection parameter enhances the axial velocity. The porous and radiation parameters enhance the temperature distribution, and the suction/injection parameter suppresses the temperature distribution.
