The steady, laminar flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a shrinking permeable sheet
is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into ordinary differential
equations using similarity transformation, before being solved numerically by the shooting method. The
features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the slip parameter and Prandtl
number are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that both the skin friction coefficient and the heat
transfer rate at the surface increase as the slip parameter increases
