The boundary layer flow over a horizontal plate with power law variations in the freestream velocity and wall temperature of the form U e ∼ x n and T w − T ∞ ∼ x m and with viscous dissipation, is studied. The boundary layer equations are transformed to a dimensionless system of equations using a non-similarity variable ξ(x) and a pseudo-similarity variable η(x, y). The effects of the various parameters of the flow on velocity and temperature distribution in the boundary layer, on the local
