An incompressible unsteady free convective viscous MHD rotating flow past a moving plate embedded in a porous medium is considered with the influence of viscous dissipation, heat source effects. It is assumed that the flow rotates with angular velocity which is normal to the plate and also that a transverse magnetic field is applied along the normal to the plate. Appropriate dimensionless quantities are applied to change the governing equations into dimensionless form. Then the equations are solved numerically using the Galerkin finite element method. Some important characteristics of the fluid are studied. The results are in good agreement with the available literature.
