The problem of a steady two-dimensional flow of a conducting power-law fluid past a flat plate in the presence of a transverse magnetic field under the influence of a pressure gradient by considering viscous dissipation effects is studied. The resulting governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non linear ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformation. The set of non linear ordinary differential equations is first linearized by using the Quasi-linearization technique and then solved numerically by using an implicit finite difference scheme. The system of algebraic equations is solved by using the Gauss-Seidal iterative method. The energy equation for a special case for which a similarity solution exist is also considered. The effects of the power-law index, magnetic parameter, viscous dissipation and generalized Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles are of special interest. Numerical results are tabulated for the skin friction co-efficient. Velocity and temperature profiles are drawn for different controlling parameters which reveal the tendency of the solution.
