Abstract

In this paper, the steady boundary layer stagnation point flow and heat transfer of a second grade fluid over an exponentially stretching sheet is investigated. The solutions are obtained through homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the Keller-box technique. Comparisons of both the solutions are given graphically as well as in tabular form. The effects of second grade parameter β Prandtl number Pr and other important physical parameters are presented through graphs and the salient features are discussed.

Keywords
