Steady state solutions are obtained for non-Darcy free convection flow along a horizontal cylinder in a non-Newtonian fluid saturated porous medium. The boundary-layer equations governing the flow Eire solved numerically by using an implicit finite-difference method developed by Keller. Numerical results are obtained for the velocity and heat transfer at the wall for various values of the parameters namely, the Ergun number, Rayleigh number, power-law index and transpiration parameter.
