The present study investigates heat transfer characteristics of power law fluid flow and energy transfer in a crown cavity with adjustment of the heated cylinder. The flow distribution is generated by the response of the heated cylinder. Additionally, the enclosure is partially adiabatic and the influence of cold interfaces is also taken. This whole setup generates a partial differential system in its mathematical translation. The numerical simulation is performed for the mathematical formulation by adopting the Galerkin Finite element method. The obtained results are analyzed against pertinent parameters of interest and presented via line graphs and contour maps for better explanation. The findings indicate that the K.E (energy motion) and Nu (Nusselt number) are higher for shear thinning While K.E energy motion) and Nu (Nusselt number) are higher is minimum for shear thickening.
