Abstract

The steady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible viscous non-Newtonian power law fluid above an infinite rotating porous disk with heat transfer is studied. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the plane of the disk and a uniform injection or suction is applied through the surface of the disk. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear differential equations which govern the hydromagnetic and heat transfer are obtained. The effects of characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluid, the magnetic field parameter and the suction or injection velocity on the velocity and temperature distributions are considered.
