The importance of MHD nanofluid has increased due to its significant thermal characteristics. Influence of Joule heating on nanomaterial heat transfer in a duct is reported. In order to nanofluid simulation, Buongiorno model is incorporate. Governing formulas are turn into ODE by means of similarity transformation and then solved by Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). Outputs for various values of Pr, Ha, Ec, Buoyancy ratio, Schmidt number, suction parameter and Brownian motion parameters are depicted. Our outcomes indicated that temperature improves with augment of viscous dissipation but it reduces with growth of Ha. Skin friction coefficient rises with augment of Ec while it reduces with augment of magnetic forces. Keywords: Magnetic field, Nanofluid, Induced magnetic field, ADM, Joule heating
