“…The expression for the velocity profile can be obtained only for cases when rheological equations of state are in their simplest form (for example, power‐law fluid). Some heat transfer problems for the power‐law fluid were studied by Bird, Lyche, Hirai, Michiyoshi et al, Parikh et al, and Froishteter et al The Bubnov‐Galerkin method was used by Tyabin et al to determine the eigenvalues. Gottifredi et al used a method involving Laplace transforms to solve the same problem.…”
