Abstract
An exact expression of the temperature distribution is constructed for the heat transfer from a stretching surface with prescribed power law heat flux. The stretching velocity is inversely proportional to the one third power of the distance measured along the surface from a thin slit. The final result is expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. Although the exact solution is accomplished, some physically unrealistic phenomena are encounters for specific conditions. The temperature parameter which prescribe the surface heat flux, strongly affects those situations. Two types of temperature distribution are discussed: dimensionless temperatures with and without scaling to the dimensionless surface temperature. The expression of the temperature distribution without scaling is lucid to understand the heat transfer characteristics.
