Abstract
An analysis has been carried out for the heat transfer on steady boundary layer flow of a second grade fluid bounded by a stretching sheet The magnetohydrodynamic nature of the fluid is considered in the presence of Hall and ion slip currents The nonlinear mathematical problem is computed by a powerful tool namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) A comparative study between the present and existing limiting results is carefully made Convergence regarding the obtained solution is discussed Skin friction coefficients and Nusselt number are analyzed Effects of embedded parameters on the dimensionless velocities and temperature are examined
