Abstract

In this paper, boundary layer flow is observed through stretching cylinder exponentially with non-linear velocity. This cylinder is rested in porous medium. Appropriate similarity transformation is employed for the conversion of governing PDEs into ODEs. To compute the problem and solution series numerical method is applied and evaluated by using finite difference Keller-Box method. The velocity ratio, permeability parameter, Reynold number is figure out to examine the effect of on velocity profile. Fluid velocity and skin friction coefficient goes down with increment of Reynold number and permeability parameter. While reverse behavior is reported for velocity ratio. The results are validated with earlier investigations and found very well.
