The flow and heat transport modeling of kiwifruit juice along the wall of a divergent channel with applied suction or injection is investigated with a suitably fitted non-Newtonian Power-Law fluid model. To simplify the equations governing fluid flow, heat transfer, and the necessary boundary conditions, similarity variables are utilized to obtain self-similar equations. The reduced form of underlying equations is evaluated by the finite difference method-based MATLAB solver 'bvp4c'. The velocity and temperature profiles are graphically depicted by examining different values of the pertinent parameters that characterize the flow. The influence of rheological flow parameters on velocity and temperature are analyzed from graphs, and conclusions are drawn from the processing application’s points of view.  \nKeywords-Divergent channel, Heat transport, Kiwifruit juice, Power-Law fluid, Pseudoplastic, Similarity variables.  \n1. Introduction  \nKiwi fruit is the edible berry of a woody vine. Actinidia deliciosa is the scientific name for the kiwifruit. Its natural habitat is the southern Chinese highlands. Kiwi is also known by many other names, such as Mihoutau, Macaque peach and the very popular Chinese gooseberry. It has green flesh and black seeds that are also edible. The fruit is petite and has a tawny skin. It is grown in large quantities, countries like New Zealand, Italy, California, France, Greece, Chile, Japan and South Korea. This fruit is successfully cultivated in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and the highlands of Tripura. Vitamin C, fiber, calcium, iron, and phosphorus are among its many beneficial nutrients. It has a variety of health benefits, improves heart health, speeds up digestion, is beneficial for weight loss, lowers blood pressure, helps to clear out toxins, helps to fight cancer, etc.  \nFor designing products, evaluating manufacturing processes, and planning packaging and storage, the knowledge of rheological flow characteristics of fluid fruit and vegetable products is essential. Existing literature primarily focuses on experimental studies of these properties by food scientists and theoretical analyses by mathematicians using appropriate fluid models for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. However, there is a notable gap in mathematical modelling that specifically addresses the rheological flow parameters of juices from fruits and vegetables, whether they exhibit Newtonian or non-Newtonian behaviour. Addressing this gap is crucial for optimizing the design and layout of flow systems in food processing industries, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.  \nA comprehensive analysis of the most current research on the rheological characteristics of fluid food products has been presented by Diamante and Umemoto [1] . Krokida et al. [2] compiled information from the literature on the rheological features of fluid products. Kaya et al. [3] investigated the heat and mass transport processes of Hayward kiwi fruits during the drying process using both experimental and numerical methods. Goula et al. [4] conducted research on the rheological properties of kiwifruit juice at various levels of solid concentration and temperatures. Gerschenson et al.
