Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the boundary layer flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid with Newtonian heating. Design/methodology/approach - Series solutions are found by homotopy analysis method. Findings - Temperature profile increases with an increase in conjugate parameter. Increase in parameter β and Prandtl number Pr decreases the temperature profile. Originality/value - This work does not currently exist in the literature.
