The appropriate nondimensional variables are introduced, and the resulting governing equations are solved by means of the Laplace transform technique. The closed-form solutions are obtained for temperature and velocity fields. The rate of heat transfer from the plate to the fluid in terms of Nusselt number is also determined. Some known solutions for Newtonian fluid from the literature are obtained as limiting case. Such kinds of solutions can generate a large class of exact solutions corresponding to different fluid motions with technical relevance. Numerical computations were made by using the software Mathcad for the velocity field only. At the end, we see the influence of slip and other flow parameters on the fluid velocity and observed that the large values of the slip coefficient have an effect of reducing fluid velocity and slow fluid flow. This shows how the slip at the wall affects the fluid flow. PB Begell House LK https://www.dl.begellhouse.com/journals/648192910890cd0e,77f984c00ddc2ed5,74ae4b3b4772a63c.html
