Abstract
The present article looks at the theoretical analysis of a steady stagnation-point flow with heat transfer of a third-order fluid towards a stretching surface. The formulation of the problem has been carried out for a third-order fluid and constructed partial differential equations are rehabilitated into ordinary differential equations. The consequential ordinary differential equations are solved analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Graphical illustrations are shown for various parameters involved in the flow equations. Numerical values of skin friction coefficients and heat flux are computed and presented through tables.
