The Newtonian fluid considered passes between two parallel vertical plates in a porous medium. The channel consists of two regions, one of them filled with engine-oil-based carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and the second region filled with water through a porous medium. The assumptions for the channel walls are electrically non-conducting and are at two different temperatures. Mathematical formulation is formed using rules for the conservation of mass, momentum and energy in both regions. Continuous conditions are used for velocity, temperature and also for shear pressure at the crossing area. The governing equations are first transformed in a non-dimensional form by using appropriate transformations, and then the subsequent differential equations are solved using a topological approach by means of the homotopy analysis method. It is found that the impact of the actual boundaries utilized in the issue is directed, and the outcomes are introduced graphically and discussed. It is noted that the engine-oil SWCNTs experience a significant increase in temperature profiles as compared to the engine-oil MWCNTs, while the movement of fluid slowdown in the nanofluid region due to the concentration of nanoparticles and the thickness of the thermal boundary layer increases by increasing the volume fraction of the carbon nanotubes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14020406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T08:34:47Z","timestamp":1645432487000},"page":"406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Electromagnetic Flow of SWCNT\/MWCNT Suspensions in Two Immiscible Water- and Engine-Oil-Based Newtonian Fluids through Porous Media"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2641-1575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmad","family":"Zeeshan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"Nasir","family":"Shehzad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3788-077X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Atif","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7805-8259","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rahmat","family":"Ellahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Basic and Applied Sciences, International Islamic University, Islamabad 44000, Pakistan"},{"name":"Fulbright Fellow Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of California Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4796-0581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadiq M.","family":"Sait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Communications and IT Research, Research Institute, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1479","DOI":"10.1007\/s10973-018-7565-4","article-title":"Applications of nanofluids in porous medium","volume":"135","author":"Khanafer","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
