The problem of fully developed free convection flow of electrically conducting fluid in an inclined microchannel in the presence of transverse magnetic field and internal heat generation is investigated. The analytical solution for velocity profile and temperature profile have been obtained, considering the velocity slip and temperature jump conditions at the wall of the microchannel. The effect of different parameters involved in the problem on the velocity and temperature profile along with the skin friction parameter and Nusselt number has been discussed graphically.
