Summary: The effect of surface mass flux on mixed convection along a vertical plate embedded in porous medium is studied. The solutions are obtained for the case of variable surface heat flux in the form $q_{\omega}(x)=Ax^n$. A finite difference scheme was used to solve the system of transformed governing equations. Velocity and temperature profiles increase as the mixed convection parameter increases. As $n$ increases, the velocity decreases and temperature increases. The dimensionless wall shear stress increases and the temperature decreases as the mixed convection parameter increases.
