The problem of conjugate free convection from long vertical fins in a non-Newtonian fluid-saturated porous medium has been investigated exploiting the boundary layer approximation. The governing equations based on the power-law model appropriate for the Darcy flow are solved exploiting an integral method. The effects of the fin shape exponent and power-law index parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed.
