Abstract: This paper pertains to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of two dimensional two phase flow in a porous medium over a stretching sheet with internal heat generation. The novelty of the present study is to consider the permeability parameter, space and temperature dependent internal heat generation along with various parameters like Froud number ,heat source/sink parameter, Grashof number, Prandtl number, Eckert number, Volume fraction, fluid interaction parameter etc. The method of solution involves similarity transformation which reduces the partial differential equations into non linear ordinary differential equations. These non linear ordinary differential equations have been solved by applying Runge-Kutta 4-th order method with help of shooting technique. The temperature profiles for different values of flow parameters are presented in figures. It is observed from all the figures that the boundary conditions are satisfied asymptotically in all the cases which supporting the accuracy of the numerical results. All the figures shows that increasing values of any parameter increase the thermal boundary layer except the prandtl number and permeability parameter. AMS classification 76T10, 76T15
