The heat transfer characteristics along the non-magnetized shapes have been performed in various previous studies numerically. Due to excessive heating, these mechanisms are less interesting in engineering and industrial processes. In the current analysis, the surface is magnetized, and the fluid is electrically conducting, which is responsible for reducing excessive heating along the surface. The main objective of the present work is to analyze convective heat transfer analysis of viscous fluid flow with thermal slip and thermal radiation effects along the vertical symmetric heated plate immersed in a porous medium numerically. The results are deduced for viscous flow along a magnetized heated surface. The theoretical mechanism of heat and magnetic intensity along a vertical surface is investigated for numerical analysis. The nonlinear-coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) for the above viscous fluid flow mechanism with the symmetry of the conditions normal to the surface are transformed and then converted into non-similar formulations by applying appropriate and well-known similarity transformations for integration and solutions. The final non-similar equations are numerically integrated by employing the Keller box method. The discretized algebraic equations are plotted graphically and numerically on the MATLAB R2013a software package. The main finding of the current analysis is to compute physical quantities such as velocity graph, magnetic field graph, and temperature plot along with their slopes, that is, skin friction, magnetic intensity, and heat transfer for different parameters included in the flow model. First, the velocity graph, magnetic field graph, and temperature graph are obtained, and then their slopes are analyzed numerically along the vertical magnetic surface. It is noticed that fluid velocity is increased at lower magnetic force, but minimum velocity is noticed at maximum magnetic force. It is worth mentioning that with the increase in magnetic force, the magnetic energy increases, which extracts the kinetic energy of the fluid and causes the above-said behavior. Furthermore, the current issues have significant implications for the polymer industries, glass fiber production, petroleum production, fiber spinning, plastic film production, polymer sheet extraction, heat exchangers, catalytic reactors, and the production of electronic devices.
