Influence of viscous energy dissipation, heat generation and radiation on nonlinear MHD boundary layer 2-D flow of gray fluid past a linear stretching porous sheet with prescribed heat flux is studied. Exact solution of momentum equation and skin friction coefficients are obtained with the help of similarity transformations. Energy equation is solved using nonhomogeneous confluent hypergeometric function. Influence of Eckert number, magnetic field together with heat generation is to enhance the temperature distribution whereas the effect of porosity, Prandtl number and radiation is to suppress it. Such flow of fluids has abundant practical applications in polymer processing industry, lubrication, energy storage and recovery, insulation of buildings and equipments and also in many engineering areas such as nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering etc.
