An analysis has been carried out to study the effect of the constant heat flux, viscous dissipation, Joule heating internal heat generation, magnetic field and thermal radiation on the flow and heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid over an exponentially stretching porous sheet. The reduced ODEs using a similarity transformation are solved numerically using the fourth-order predictor-corrector finite difference method (FDM-4OPC). The obtained results are presented in tabular form as well as graphically and discussed in detail. Also, the effect of different parameters on the local skin-friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number is discussed. The results were validated via the fourth-order predictor-corrector finite difference method which was found to be rigorous and speedily convergent.
