The time-dependent hydromagnetic boundary layer flow across a vertical surface with internal heat regeneration in porous media is investigated. The flow problem has been modelled mathematically in partial differential equations along with appropriate defined boundary conditions. These equations were expressed in dimensionless form using suitable similarity variables. The resulting dimensionless equations along with the conditions defined at the boundaries are solved by means of the Laplace transform methods. Results of the study are graphically illustrated for various quantities of practical importance. It was concluded that time positively influence the flow as a reduced skin friction coefficient was observed. Furthermore, the magnetic parameter, the radiation parameter, the heat absorption parameter and the permeability of the porous media can be used to influence the characteristics of a flow in porous media.
