Abstract
The steady twodimensional boundary layer flow of a viscous dusty fluid over a stretching sheet with the bottom surface of the sheet heated by convection from a hot fluid is considered The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation before being solved numerically by a Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourthfifth order method RKF45 Method with the help of MAPLE The effects of convective Biot number fluid particle interaction parameter and Prandtl number on the heat transfer characteristics are discussed It is found that the temperature of both fluid and dust phase increases with increasing Biot number A comparative study between the previous published and present results in a limiting sense is found in an excellent agreement
