✦ Synopsis

This paper presents a perturbation analysis study of the flow of an electrically conducting power-law fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field over a stretching sheet. The perturbation solutions for small and large values of the mixed convection parameter are explored. The asymptotic behavior of the solutions was examined for different values of the power-law index and the magnetic parameter.
