MHD mixed convection and entropy generation of a nanofluid in a vertical porous channel

•Entropy generation and MHD mixed convection flow in a porous channel are studied.•The governing equations are solved by the control volume method.•Effects of Da, Ha, Ri and ϕ are considered for both assisting and opposing flows.•The heat transfer is increased with Ha and ϕ, and is decreased with Da...
