Abstract
The boundary-layer flow past a stretching plate in a viscoelastic conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is considered. The solution for the boundary-layer equations is obtained using the similarity parameter method. An analytic solution for the temperature distribution of the plate undergoing cooling in this fluid and in the boundary layer is developed. The effect of the visco-elastic parameter k0 and the magnetic field on the flow velocity is investigated. The effect of the magnetic field on the convergence of the solution is also discussed.
