Momentum and heat transfer in power-law fluid flow over arbitrarily shaped two-dimensional or axisymmetrical bodies are examined theoretically. The Merk type of series expansion technique is used for the momentum analysis. For convective heat transfer, a generalized coordinate transformation is employed to analyze the temperature field in a laminar boundary layer for the body with a step change in the surface temperature distribution. In both momentum and heat transfer, the solution to the governing equations are obtained as universal functions which are independent of the geometry of the problem. The numerical and closed-form solution to the universal functions are found and then applied to analyze wedge flow and flow over a circular cylinder.
