This paper studies unsteady laminar flow of dusty conducting fluid between parallel porous plates with temperature dependent viscosity and the Network Simulation Method (NSM) is used to solve the governing nonlinear partial differential equations. The fluid is acted upon by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plates that are assumed to be porous. The NSM is applied to solve the steady-state and transient problems of flow and heat transfer for both the fluid and dust particles. With this method, only discretization of the spatial co-ordinates is necessary, while time remains as a real continuous variable. The velocity and temperature are studied for different values of the viscosity and magnetic field parameters.
