Search for: [Abstract = "Accuracy of the zero\-order analytical solutions for the stream function and velocity are verified by numerical solutions obtained by employing the Runge\-Kutta fourth order method involving shooting. Similarity solutions of the temperature equation for non\-isothermal boundary conditions are obtained in the form of confluent hypergeometric functions. The effect of various physical parameters on the local skin\-friction coefficient and heat transfer characteristics are discussed in detail."]
