This study examines the natural convective flow of a Casson hybrid nanofluid in a vertical porous microchannel with alternately heated walls under a transverse magnetic field. One wall satisfies the no-slip condition, while the opposite wall is superhydrophobic. The analysis focuses on the effects of magnetic forces, porosity, nonlinear temperature-dependent density variation, and hydrophobic boundary conditions on fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics. Exact analytical solutions are developed to solve the governing equations. Results indicate that wall heating reduces skin friction because of magnetic influences, while increasing magnetic field strength suppresses fluid velocity in both heating configurations. Furthermore, heating the superhydrophobic wall with low temperature-jump coefficients decreases the Nusselt number significantly. Response surface methodology combined with multilinear regression is also employed to determine the influence of governing parameters on heat transfer rates for water at 10°C. The findings are relevant for microfluidics, thermal management systems, and advanced nanomaterial applications.
