Effect of thermocapillarity and variable thermal conductivity on the heat transfer analysis of a non-Newtonian liquid thin film over a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and heat source/sink

An analysis illustrating the flow of an Ostwald-de-Waele liquid film on an unsteady stretching sheet under the influence of thermocapillary force, magnetic field and viscous dissipation is carried out. In this study, thermal conductivity is assumed to be a function of fluid temperature. Numerical so...
