ABSTRACT = {This article presents the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Carreau fluid model over a nonlinear stretching 
sheet embedded in a porous medium in the presence of non-uniform heat source/sink and viscous dissipation with convective boundary condition. The 
governing partial differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations using 
similarity transformation, which is then solved numerically by the fourth-fifth order Runge–Kutta-Fehlberg integration scheme featuring a shooting 
technique. The influence of significant parameters such as power law index parameter, Stretching parameter, Weissenberg number, permeability 
parameter, temperature ratio parameter, radiation parameter, Biot number, heat source/sink parameters, Eckert number and Prandtl number on the flow 
and heat transfer characteristics is discussed. The obtained results shows that for shear thinning fluid the fluid velocity is depressed by the Weissenberg 
number while opposite behavior for the shear thickening fluid is observed. A comparison with previously published data in limiting cases is performed 
and they are in excellent agreement.},
