Abstract
Purpose - The purpose of this work is to study heat and mass transfer from mixed convection flow of polar fluid along a plate in porous media with chemical reaction. Design/methodology/approach - The governing equations for this problem are solved numerically. Findings - Polar fluids behave very differently from Newtonian fluids. Originality/value - This work is original as little work has been reported for polar fluids.
