Abstract
This work is concerned with the numerical solution for rotating viscoelastic flow developed by an exponentially stretching impermeable surface. Temperature at the sheet is also assumed to vary exponentially. Energy equation involves the novel nonlinear radiation heat flux term. Suitable transformations are utilized to nondimensionalize the relevant boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions are developed by means of standard shooting approach. The results demonstrate that both rotation and viscoelasticity serve to reduce the hydrodynamic boundary layer thickness. Temperature function has a special S-shaped profile when the difference between wall and ambient temperatures is sufficiently large. Heat transfer coefficient at the surface diminishes when rotation parameter is increased. Current numerical computations are consistent with those of the existing studies in the literature.
