Abstract

In this present study we analyzed the magneto-hydrodynamic flow of non-Newtonian fluid past over a sharp wedge in presence of thermal boundary layer. We have solved the non-linear differential equation with the help of ode45 solver by MATLAB software. we draw the graphs between velocity components of fluid and heats flow against dimensionless variable with different parameters such as magnetic parameter M, power law index parameter n, Reynolds number Re, Prandtl number Pr and wedge parameter m. The various results have been obtained graphically.

Keywords
