Abstract
A nonsimilar boundary layer analysis has been presented for the free c onvection along a vertical plate embedded in a fluid-saturated porous medium in the presence of surface mass transfer and internal heat gene ration. The transformed conservation laws are solved numerically for t he cases of variable wall temperature and variable wall heat flux boun dary conditions. Results are presented for the details of the velocity and temperature fields as well as Nusselt number.
