Synopsis  : 

A two dimensional MHD Natural Convection and mass transfer flow past an inclined semi-infinite vertical flat plate in the presence of heat generation and porous medium has been studied.  An uniform magnetic field is applied normal to the plate.  Exact solutions are obtained for concentration, temperature and velocity in terms of exponential functions.  The numerical results are presented graphically for different values of the parameters.  Finally, the numerical values of the local skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt Number and Sherwood number are shown in a table.
