Comment on “Analysing flow and heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid over a semi-infinite horizontal moving flat plate, IJNLM, 43 (2008) 772”

In this report we make corrections to a paper by Rafael Cortell (IJNLM, 43 (2008) 772). In this paper (IJNLM, 43 (2008) 772) the author considered an incorrect equation (by including a wrong term instead of correct term) for his considered flow and heat transfer problem and reported unrealistic results as a consequence. In this communication we have considered the correct equation (replacing the incorrect term by correct one) and solved it analytically. Our analysis shows that the unrealistic behavior as observed by Cortell (IJNLM, 43 (2008) 772) persists no more if one considers the correct term.
