Abstract The objective of current investigation is to perform mathematical modeling of natural convection and magnetic effects on hybrid nanomaterial convective transportation and numerically examined via new approach. The permeable terms in momentum equations based on non-Darcy approach. Mixture of ( MWCNT  + Fe 3 O 4 ) with water was employed. Impacts of permeability, Rd, Lorentz force and Ra on nanomaterial treatment have been illustrated via a set of graphs. The isotherms found significantly affected due to an augment in applied magnetic field H a = 60 and increasing values of Darcy number while domain change in the streamlines pattern is perceived for the same intensity of magnetic and Darcy numbers. Moreover, the comparative form study is presented to show the efficiency of the CVFEM while the comparison of results is also asserted with the help of graphs. The comparative analysis is endorsing a good agreement of results with existing literature.
