Abstract The boundary layer flow of power-law fluids over a shrinking sheet with mass transfer is revisited. Closed-form analytical solutions are found and presented for special cases. One of the presented solutions has an algebraic decay behavior. These analytical solutions might offer valuable insight into the nonlinear boundary layer flow for power-law fluids.
