A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton’s law of viscosity. In a non-Newtonian fluid, the relation between the shear stress and the shear rate is different. Many salt solutions and molten polymers are non-Newtonian fluids such as custard, ketchup, blood, paint, and shampoo. Nakamura et al. [13] studied the laminar steady flow of non-Newtonian (bi-viscosity fluid) through an axi-symmetric stenosis. It is found that the non-Newtonian property of blood reduces the pressure, deformation of flow pattern and shear stress at the wall connected with the stenosis and also decreases the axial force acting on the stenosis. Anwar et al. [14] investigated the bio-convection flow of non-Newtonian nanofluids along a horizontal flat plate
Many researchers defined the Casson fluid as a shear thinning liquid which is assumed to have an infinite viscosity at zero rate of shear, yield stress below which no flow occurs, and a zero viscosity at an infinite rate of shear [17-19]. Emmanuel et al. [20] studied the analysis of Casson fluid flow over a vertical porous surface with chemical reaction in the presence of magnetic field. Samir kumar [21] investigated analytically the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid of a stagnation point over a stretching sheet with partial slip. It is found that an increase in the velocity slip parameter causes decrease in the flow velocity, however an increases in the value of the thermal slip parameter causes increase in the temperature of the fluid. Ramesh et al. [22] studied analytically flows of Casson fluid with slip boundary conditions. Eldabe et al. [23] studied the problem of the boundary layer flow of MHD non-Newtonian nanofluid with heat and mass transfer through a porous medium under the effect of heat generation, radiation and chemical reaction through a porous medium.

For example magneto fluids include plasmas, liquid metals, salt water and electrolytes. Khan t al. [25] studied the MHD boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a vertical plate with Navier slip condition. Khan et al [26] investigated MHD nanofluid bioconvection due to gyrotactic microorganisms over a convectively heat stretching sheet, it is found that the non-dimensional velocity decreases with increasing buoyancy ratio and bioconvection Raylieh number. Also the non-dimenstional temperature at the surface increases with an increase in the convective parameter, while it decreases with increasing buoyancy ratios. Macha et al. [27] studied MHD mixed convection boundary layer flow of heat and mass transfer stagnation-point flow of a non-Newtonian power-law nanofluid towards a stretching surface in a presence of thermal radiation. Alok et al. [28] studied the effect of viscous dissipation and suction/injection on MHD nanofluid flow over a wedge with porous medium and slip. El-Sayed et al. [29] studied the peristaltic flow and heat transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting Bingham Non-Newtonian fluid in an eccentric uniform annulus in the presence of external uniform magnetic field with slip velocity and temperature jump at the wall conditions. Eldabe et al. [30] investigated the steady MHD axisymmetric flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting
