Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet. The non-Newtonian behavior of the fluid is characterized by the constitutive equation due to Powell and Eyring (1944). A second-order approximation of the Eyring-Powell model is used to obtain the flow equations. A local similarity solution of the governing problem is obtained numerically using an implicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller box method. The influence of pertinent non-Newtonian fluid parameters M and λ on the velocity and skin-friction coefficient is analyzed through graphical and tabular results.
