“…So, to maintain the boundary layer structure of the flow one needs a certain amount of external opposite force at the sheet. Different aspects of the flow due to a shrinking sheet were discussed in the articles (Miklavčič and Wang, 2006;Hayat et al, 2007;Muhaimin et al, 2008;Fand and Zhang, 2009;Wang, 2008;Ishak et al, 2010;Bhattacharyya et al, 2011a;2011b;Rosali et al, 2011;Bhattacharyya, 2011a;2011b;2011c;Yacob et al, 2011;Bhattacharyya and Pop, 2011;Bhattacharyya, 2011d;2011e;Ishak et al, 2012;Bhattacharyya and Vajravelu, 2012;Rosali et al, 2012;. Motivated by the nature of the shrinking flow in the present paper, the axisymmetric boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a permeable shrinking cylinder with mass suction are investigated.…”
