Abstract
Heat transport (HT) efficiency in boundary layer flow (BLF) across wedges is critical for many industrial processes, as well as aerospace and defence research. The HT analysis in a power-law fluid along a moving permeable wedge is described in this paper. A changeable parameter is the injection velocity at the wedge surface. The governing equations are dimensionless, and the shooting technique is used to achieve a non-similar solution. Graphs depict the impacts of various factors on the velocity and temperature contours, local Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient. The results show that the dilatant fluid has a velocity decline near the wedge surface and achieves its maximum velocity away from the wedge surface. The findings of this study may aid in the development of better HT systems for a variety of applications.
