Group theoretical analysis of non-newtonian fluid flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation

Abstract
The present article examines the flow, heat and mass transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid known as Casson fluid over a stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiations effects. Lie Group analysis is used to reduce the governing partial differential equations into non-linear ordinary differential equations. These equations are then solved by an analytical technique known as Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). A comprehensive study of the problem is being made for various parameters involving in the equations through tables and graphs.
