Abstract. In this study, the numerical solution of stagnation point
flow over a stretching surface, generated by Newtonian heating in which the heat transfer
from the surface is proportional to the
local surface temperature is considered. The transformed boundary layer
equations are solved numerically using the Keller box method. Numerical solutions are obtained for the local heat transfer
coefficient and the wall temperature. The features of the
flow and heat transfer characteristics for various values of the Prandtl number, stretching
parameter and conjugate parameter are analyzed and discussed.
