Boundary-Layer Flow of Walters'B Fluid with Newtonian Heating

This work studies the flow of Walters-B fluid over a stretching surface with Newtonian heating. The governing partial differential equations are first simplified through boundary layer approximations and then reduced into ordinary differential equations by using the appropriate substitutions. The resulting problems have been solved for the series solutions by a homotopic approach. Convergence analysis is performed and appropriate values are determined by plotting the so-called. h-curves. Graphical results for the dimensionless velocity and temperature are presented and discussed for various physical parameters. In addition, the expressions of skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number are presented. The dimensionless expressions of wall shear stress and wall mass flux are analysed graphically and numerically.
