Abstract
In this article, the flow and heat transfer of Eyring Powell fluid over a continuously moving surface in the presence of a free stream velocity are investigated. Convective boundary conditions have been used in the problem formulation. The solution for velocity and temperature are computed by applying the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The effects of emerging fluid parameters (), (δ) and Prandtl number (Pr) on the velocity and temperature are illustrated through graphs and tables for different values of λ. It is found that the boundary layer thickness is an increasing function of () and decreasing function of (δ). However the temperature and thermal boundary layer thickness decrease when the values of () and (δ) are increased.
