AB - In the present investigation the boundary layer steady flow and heat transfer  of a viscous incompressible fluid due to a stretching porous sheet in  presence of heat source are studied. The equations of motion and heat  transfer are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations and the  exact solutions are obtained in the form of confluent hypergeometric function  (Kummer’s Function) for prescribed heat flux, when the wall is at prescribed  second order power law heat flux or the prescribed heat flux at the  stretching porous wall varies as the square of the distance from the origin.  The effects of the various parameters entering into the problem on the  temperature distribution and recovery temperature are discussed.
