AB - This paper deals with the problem of thermal radiation effects on magneto  hydro dynamic flow and heat transfer in a channel with porous walls of  different permeability. The equations governing the flow are coupled  non-linear partial differential equations. By introducing the stream  function, the governing partial differential equations are reduced to  ordinary differential equations. The governing equations which are coupled  and highly non-linear are first linearized by quasilinearization technique  and obtained numerical solution by using implicit finite difference scheme.  The effects of various parameters, namely, Reynolds number R, Permeability  parameter K, Hartmann number S2, Prandtl number Pr, and Thermal radiation  parameter F, entering into the problem on the velocity field and temperature  distribution are shown graphically.
