Abstract

The steady, boundary layer flow and heat transfer on a stretching surface in rotating fluid has been examined. Using suitable similarity transformations, the partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer phenomenon convert to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations are solved by using the shooting technique with fifth order Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg method. The parameters involving in the problem are Casson fluid parameter \(\beta \), non-dimensional parameter \(\lambda \) that signifies the importance of rotation rate to stretching rate and Prandtl number \(Pr\). The effects of these parameters on physical quantities such as velocity and temperature profiles, skin frictions and Nusselt number are inspected with the aid of graphs and tables.
