In the present paper a differential transformation method (DTM) is used to obtain the solution of momentum and heat transfer equations of non-Newtonian fluid flow in an axisymmetric channel with porous wall. The comparison between the results from the differential transformation method and numerical method are in well agreement which proofs the capability of this method for solving such problems. After this validity, results are investigated for the velocity and temperature for various values of Reynolds number, Prandtl number and power law index.
