Abstract
The boundary layer unsteady flow along a continuously stretching cylinder immersed in a viscous and incompressible fluid is studied. A variable thermal conductivity is considered. The governing partial boundary layer equations in cylindrical form are first transformed into ordinary differential equations These equations are solved analytically using the optimal modified Homotopy Asymptotic method in order to get a closed form solution for the dimensionless functions f, and theta.
