The boundary-layer flow and heat transfer of an incompressible Jeffreys viscoelastic fluid from a permeable horizontal circular cylinder is analyzed. The surface of the cylinder is maintained at a constant temperature. The boundary-layer conservation equations, which are parabolic in nature, are normalized into nonsimilar form and then solved numerically with the well-tested, efficient, implicit, stable Keller-box finite difference scheme. The variation of the reduced Nusselt number and local skin-friction coefficient with Deborah number and suction parameter, for various values of Prandtl number, and ratio of relaxation to retardation times are tabulated and provided in graphical form. It is found that the velocity is reduced with increasing Deborah number, whereas the temperature is increased. Increasing the ratio of relaxation to retardation times enhances the velocity but decreases the temperature. Increasing the Deborah number is observed to decrease the Nusselt number (heat transfer rate) and the skin-friction coefficient. Increasing the ratio of relaxation to retardation times is found to increase the Nusselt number (heat transfer rate) and the local skin friction.
