Abstract

The present article aims to reports laminar, incompressible, electrically conducting two-dimensional non-Newtonian (power-law) liquid flow via exponentially stretching sheet with power-law slip velocity conditions. Transverse magnetic field, Hall current, viscous dissipation and radiative flux effects are incorporated in the formulation. Rosseland's diffusion model is defined for the radiation heat transfer. The non-linear partial derivation formulations satisfying the flow are transformed to the non-linear derivative equations by employing the local similarity quantities and then solved analytically through spectral quasi-linearization method (SQLM). The resultant solution is computed for different parameters in tables and graphical representation for clear understanding of the thermo-physical terms. Extensive visualization of primary and secondary velocities, temperature distributions for various emerging parameters presented for n = 0.7 (pseudo-plastic fluid) and n = 1,3 (dilatant fluid). The results are verified for limiting cases by comparing with various investigations and found excellent accuracy for Newtonian case. It is interesting to note that secondary flow rate is more dominant for both the cases of pseudo plastic and dilatant fluids for Hall parameter and Eckert number. Increasing Hall current leads suppress the fluid temperature but as Eckert number grows it leads grow the fluid temperature. Further, it is observed that as Hall parameter increases local Nusselt number strongly elevates.
