The solutions are obtained through homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the Keller-box technique. Comparisons of both the solutions are given graphically as well as in tabular form. The effects of second grade parameter Prandtl number Pr and other important physical parameters are presented through graphs and the salient features are discussed. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajams/3/6/1/ajams-3-6-1.pdf boundary layer flow heat transfer second grade fluid exponential stretching/shrinking homotopy analysis method keller-box technique
