Radiative flow of Jeffery fluid in a porous medium with power law heat flux and heat source

The aim of this paper is to examine the flow of an incompressible Jeffery fluid over a stretching surface. In addition the heat transfer process with power law heat flux and heat source in the presence of thermal radiation is considered. Homotopic solutions for velocity and temperature fields are developed. The related convergence analysis is carried out very carefully. The plotted results are discussed for flow and heat transfer characteristics. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
