In the present paper, we have examined the two-dimensional flow of Williamson fluid over a stretching sheet under the effects of nano-sized particle also described as nano Williamson fluid. The boundary layer equations of nano Williamson fluid model along with energy and nanoparticle volume fraction are presented and simplified with the help of useful transformations. Governing equations are somewhat different from the ones present in literature (reason is explained in the introduction section). The expressions for coefficients of skin friction and Nusselt number have been computed. The physical features of non-dimensional Williamson parameter, Lewis number, Schmidt number and nano particle parameters (diffusivity ratio and heat capacities ratio) have been discussed by plotting the graphs of velocity, temperature and nanoparticle volume fraction.
