Abstract: In this study, a novel investigation for the effects of non-linear thermal radiation and magnetic field is conducted on mixed convection flow of non-Newtonian fluid along a permeable wedge. Power-law model is used as a non-Newtonian fluid model that predicts shear thinning/thickening effects. For theoretical analysis, a mathematical model in terms of nonlinear PDEs are transformed into a dimensionless non-similar model which is treated as a non-linear ODE when streamwise coordinate is assumed as a constant. The obtained system is solved numerically using the built-in ‘bvp4c’ technique, and the effects of the pertinent parameters is examined through plots illustrating the velocity profiles, temperature distributions, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficients. From the results, it is revealed that heat transfer rate accelerates in occurrence of assisting flow as compared to opposing flow and further in the existence of thermal radiation, heat transfer rate becomes higher which is crucial in industry because more enhancement in heat transfer rate is required. Skin friction coefficient reduces in the occurrence of opposing flow as compared to assisting flow and further reduction is noted by taking thermal radiation.
