This document summarizes a study that analyzes magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Newtonian and non-Newtonian nanofluids passing over a magnetic sphere. Nanofluids containing alumina or copper nanoparticles in water or oil bases were examined. Governing equations for continuity, momentum, and energy were derived and non-dimensionalized. The equations were transformed into similarity equations using a stream function and solved numerically. Results showed that increasing the magnetic parameter decreases velocity and temperature. Newtonian nanofluid velocity and temperature were higher than non-Newtonian. Copper-water nanofluid also had higher values than alumina-water.
