Unsteady MHD heat and mass transfer by free convective micropolar fluid flow over an infinite vertical porous medium under the action of transverse magnetic field with thermal diffusion have been studied numerically in the presence of constant heat source. This investigation is performed for both cooling and heating problem with constant suction velocity when the medium is subjected to constant heat and mass fluxes. A finite difference technique with stability and convergence analysis is used to solve the non-dimensional momentum, angular momentum, energy and concentration equations. The computed values of fluid velocity, angular velocity, temperature and concentration distributions, wall shear stress, wall couple stress, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are shown graphically. Finally, a qualitative comparison with previous work is tabulated.
