The current paper on carbon nanotubes suspended magnetohydrodynamics micropolar dusty nanofluid impinging on a permeable extending sheet placed in a porous regime. The Darcy–Forchheimer scheme with heat source/sink and thermal radiation is taken into account. The shooting method is instrumental for obtaining numerical solutions of the transformed-converted system of nonlinear equations. The prescribed surface temperature (PST) and prescribed heat flux (PHF) boundary conditions are used. The impact of governing parameters on velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, entropy generation rate and Bejan number are incorporated. The significant outcomes of the current investigation are that increment in the suction parameter decline the flow velocity and temperature (for both PST and PHF cases) while the injection uplift them. An enhancement in magnetic strength, the skin friction and heat transfer rate show the opposite trend for both SWCNT and MWCNT. Bejan number is increasing with the increase in nanoparticle volume fraction $$\phi$$ for both SWCNT and MWCNT.
