The influence of the internal heat generation and radiation absorption in the free-convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past an impulsively started infinite vertical porous plate is considered. The set of the governing equations is solved by incorporating a finite-difference, algorithm. The influence of the vairous parameters for two fluids (air and water) is discussed with the aid of graphs.
