An analysis is presented to investigate the combined effects of thermal radiation and internal generation of energy on the boundary layer convection flow along an inclined plate embedded in saturated Darcy-Brinkman porous medium. The governing boundary layer equations with the boundary conditions are first cast into a dimensionless form by a unique similarity transformation and the resulting coupled differential equations are then solved numerically by a computational program based on the fifth order Runge-Kutta scheme with shooting iteration technique. Also, the effects of physical parameters entering in the problem on velocity and temperature, shear stress and Nusselt number profiles have been computed and studied with help of graphics.
