ABSTRACT This article presents a study for Marangoni convection of power-law fluid in a porous medium driven by a power-law temperature and a power-law concentration with heat generation and first-order chemical reaction. It is assumed that the surface tension varies linearly with both the temperature and the concentration. The effects of power-law viscosity on temperature and concentration fields are taken into account bya modified Fourier law and Darcy's Law for power-law fluid. An approximate analytical solution is obtained using a homotopy analytical method, which is verified by numerical ones with good agreement. The transport characteristics of velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are analyzed in detail.
