AbstractIn this reply to comment on ”Series solution of hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer with Hall effect in a second grade fluid over a stretching sheet” by R. A. Van Gorder and K. Vajravelu manuscript [R. A. Van Gorder, K. Vajravelu, Cent. Eur. J. Phys., DOI:10. 2478/s11534-009-0145-2], we once again claim that the governing similarity equations of Vajravelu and Roper [K. Vajravelu, T. Roper, Int. J. Nonlin. Mech. 34, 1031 (1999)] are incorrect and our claim in [M. Ayub, H. Zaman, M. Ahmad, Cent. Eur. J. Phys. 8, 135 (2010)] is true. For the literature providing justification regarding this issue is discussed in detail.

An analysis has been carried out for the hydromagnetic flow and heat transfer over a horizontal surface located in an externally squeezed free stream. Mathematical formulation is developed by using constitutive equations of a second grade fluid. The resulting problems have been solved by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). In addition the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are tabulated. The physical quantities of interest are analyzed for various emerging parameters.
