A theoretical model of a porous-inclined slider bearing lubricated with magnetic fluid has been considered together with slip velocity boundary condition. Our aim is to study the influence of various dimensionless parameters arising out of the analysis of the model. By assuming the viscosity µ = µ0 exp [-β(t m - t0)] of magnetic fluid, the expressions for mean temperature and load capacity have been obtained. It has been observed that both mean temperature field and load capacity are the functions of slip parameter, magnetic parameter, thermal parameter and permeability parameter. The dependence of the mean temperature field as well as of load capacity on these parameters has been seen graphically.
