Finite element method for the effect of various injection parameter on heat transfer for a power-law non-Newtonian fluid over a continuous stretched surface with thermal radiation

An analysis is carried out to study the effect of suction and injection on heat transfer for a power-law, non-Newtonian fluid. The flow in a boundary layer includes the effects of radiation and a cooled surface temperature. The resultant governing boundary-layer equations, highly non-linear and a coupled form of partial differential equations, have been solved by employing a numerical, finite element technique. A parametric study of all involved parameters is conducted, and a representative of the results for the temperature profile as well as the Nusselt number is illustrated graphically to elucidate interesting features of the solutions.
