Abstract
An analysis is made of the steady laminar flow in a porous medium of an incompressible viscous fluid impinging on a permeable stretching surface with heat generation. A numerical solution for the governing nonlinear momentum and energy equations is obtained. The effects of the porosity of the medium, the surface stretching velocity, and the heat generation/absorption coefficient on both the flow and heat transfer are presented and discussed.
