Abstract

In this paper, a numerical analysis of boundary layer flow and heat transfer in Jeffrey fluid over a moving flat plate with Newtonian Heating have been presented. The governing partial differential equations were reduced to a transformed ordinary differential equation with the help of similarity transformation. Numerical solutions were obtained for these transformed ordinary differential equation by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The effect on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer behaviours of various parameters such as Deborah number {\lambda}2, relaxation time and retardation time ratio {\lambda}, Newtonian heating parameter {\gamma}, Prandtl number Pr and moving plate velocity parameter {\epsilon} has been investigated. It is important to mention that the results obtained and reported here are impactful to the researchers working in this field and can be used in the future as a guideline and analysis context.
