Summary
The problem of heat transfer in the viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching sheet is examined. The important physical quantities such as the skin-friction coefficient and the heat transfer coefficient, are determined. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient decreases with the non-Newtonian parameter.
