Present paper is intended to analyze the steady viscous incompressible fluid flow between two parallel infinite porous plates including the influence of magnetic parameter, heat source and also mass suction/injection. Here due to asymmetric heating of porous plates and viscous dissipation the fluid temperature varies. The variations are discussed with two different physical situations such as Couette motion and pressure driven Poiseuille flow. An effective mathematical model is developed and analyzed by using a suitable method. The coupled nonlinear PDE’s are reduced into set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The transformed equations are solved analytically. The effects of several parameters on velocity and temperature fields have been examined by help of graphs. The numerical computation of skin friction and Nusselt number are represented by inclusion of a table. The work of previous authors is compared with the present paper as a particular case.
