The present mathematical formulation focuses on unsteady boundary layer squeezing flow of a Walter’s B fluid between parallel plates. Heat transfer phenomenon is also a momentous content to investigate the current problem. Momentum and energy equations are developed to flourish the consequences of the problem. Modeled coupled partial differential equations are metamorphosed into resemblance form of ordinary differential equations by using competent similarity transformations. Non-dimensional form of governing equations is elucidated with shooting technique along Runge–Kutta method to obtain numerical solution. The influences of sundry dynamic variables such as dimensionless length parameter, the squeezing number, Prandtl number and the Eckert number on the dimensionless profiles are evaluated and presented graphically. The skin friction coefficient is also explained with the aid of graph and table.
