This paper deals with the study of the heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection from a horizontalsurface embedded in a radiating fluid saturated porous medium. Similarity solutions for buoyancy induced heat and masstransfer from a horizontal surface, where the wall temperature and concentration are a power function of distance fromthe origin, are obtained by using an integral approach of Von Karman type. The effects of the governing parameters suchas buoyancy ratio, Lewis number, radiation parameter and the power-law exponent on local Nusselt and local Sherwoodnumbers have been investigated both numerically and graphically.
