The flow in the permeable beds is governed by Darcy¡¯s law. The closed form solutions are obtained for the velocity and temperature fields in the channel. The effect of permeability on the velocity and temperature is discussed. We observed that for a given y, the velocity increases with increasing Darcy number and for a given y, the temperature increases with increasing couple stress parameter a. %K couple-stress fluid %K Newtonian fluid %K inclined channel %K permeable bed. %U https://ia601207.us.archive.org/34/items/IJITCE/vol2no601.pdf
