Effects of thermal radiation and magnetic field on heat transfer in a micropolar fluid along a vertical porous stretching surface in the presence of internal heat generation and variable viscosity are studied. The governing equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations and solved them numerically using Mathematical program. The obtained results are checked against previously published work for special cases of the problem in order to access the accuracy of the numerical method and found to be in excellent agreement Effects of the various parameters on the velocity profiles, temperature profiles and rate of heat transfer are also displayed graphically and tabulated form.
