Abstract
A boundary layer analysis has been presented for interaction of combined convection from vertical surface in a porous medium saturated with a power-low type non-Newtonian fluid with presence suction and injection. The transformed conservation laws are solved numerically for the case of variable surface heat flux conditions. Results for the details of the velocity and temperature fields as well as the Nusselt number have been presented. The effect of fluid suction/injection on the heat transfer rate is discussed.
