The study of laminar flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid over a stretching sheet is an essential research field in fluid mechanics, due to its extensive applications in many manufacturing processes in industry, such as glass-fiber production, extraction of polymer sheet, hot rolling, wire drawing, solidification of liquid crystals, paper production, drawing of plastic films, petroleum production, exotic lubricants and suspension solutions, continuous cooling and fibers spinning. A lot of work on the boundary layer Newtonian fluids has been carried out both experimentally and theoretically. Crane [1] was the first who investigate the stretching problem taking into account the fluid flow over a linearly stretched surface. On the other hand, Gupta [2] stressed that realistically, stretching surface is not necessarily continuous. Magyari and Keller [3] analyzed the steady boundary layers on an exponentially stretching continuous surface with an exponential temperature distribution. Elbashbeshy [4] investigated the Heat transfer over an exponentially stretching continuous surface with suction. Partha [5] discussed the effect of viscous dissipation on the mixed convection heat transfer from an exponentially stretching surface. studied the effects of magnetic field on fluid flow and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching surface. Sajid and Hayat [7] find the analytical solution of the thermal radiation effects on the flow over an exponentially stretching sheet by using the homotopy analysis method. Later, Bidin and Nazar [8] numerically studied the effect of thermal radiation on the steady laminar boundary layer flow and heat transfer over an exponentially stretching sheet. Bararnia et al. [9] analytically studied the boundary layer flow and heat transfer on a continuously stretching surface. On the other hand, El-Aziz [10] analyzed the effect of viscous dissipation on mixed convection flow of micropolar fluid past an exponentially stretching sheet.

akavaramvlr@gmail.comAbstract: The present paper is devoted to describing the boundary layer flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid accompanied by heat transfer towards a porous exponentially stretching sheet with velocity slip and thermal slip conditions in the presence of thermal radiation, suction/blowing, viscous dissipation and heat source/ sink effects. The governing partial differential equations are reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations by using suitable similarity transformations and solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme known as the Keller box method. In the present work the effects of the non-dimensional governing parameters on velocity and temperature profiles have been discussed and presented graphically. As well as for the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt numbers exhibited and examined. It is found that the temperature is increasing to higher value when the Casson parameter increases but reverse is...
