Abstract
The MHD flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a continuously moving surface with a parallel free stream have been investigated. The partial differential equations governing the non-similar flow have been solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The skin friction and heat-transfer coefficients increase with the magnetic parameter, and they are more for the pseudoplastic fluid than for the dilatant fluid. The heat-transfer coefficient increases significantly with the Prandtl number. The gradient of the velocity at the surface is negative when the wall velocity is greater than the free stream velocity, and it is positive when the wall velocity is less than the free stream velocity.
