In addition, the effects of thermal radiation are also considered. The mathematical model of the flow and heat transfer problem is developed by using a curvilinear coordinate system. Similar solutions are computed numerically by a shooting method. The results are also validated with the well-known finite difference technique known as the Keller-Box method. Fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and rate of heat transfer at the wall are discussed through graphs and tables for the various values of the involved parameters.
