Fluid flow and heat transfer of a power law fluid flowing over a wedge, taking into consideration viscous dissipation, in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations by the application of group theory. By using quasi-linearization technique, first we linearized the coupled non-linear equations are first linearized, and then solved them numerically by a finite difference method. Numerical solutions for the governing momentum and energy equations are obtained. Results are presented as velocity profiles and temperature profiles for different flow parameters, such as, the magnetic field parameter M, Prandtl number Pr, Eckert number Ec, the flow behavior index n, and the wedge angle parameter m. Variations of heat transfer and skin friction for different values of Ec, Pr, M and m are presented. Heat transfer and skin friction results are compared for various values of the flow behaviour index n governing the nature of the fluid and also for different wedge angles.
