摘要An analysis is made to study boundary layer flow and heat transfer over an exponentially shrinking sheet. Using similarity transformations in exponential form, the governing boundary layer equations are transformed into self-similar nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are then solved numerically using a very efficient shooting method. The analysis reveals the conditions for the existence of steady boundary layer flow due to exponential shrinking of the sheet and it is found that when the mass suction parameter exceeds a certain critical value, steady flow is possible. The dual solutions for velocity and temperature distributions are obtained. With increasing values of the mass suction parameter, the skin friction coefficient increases for the first solution and decreases for the second solution.
