This paper studies the influence of temperature dependent viscosity on unsteady hydro-magnetic free
convective flow on a porous plate. The fluid is acted upon by a constant external uniform magnetic field
applied perpendicular to the plates. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are solved
numerically using finite difference method. Important effect of temperature dependent viscosity and the
uniform magnetic field on the flow are discussed. It was shown that there is cross over in the velocity as
viscosity parameter increases.
