The fluid flow over a stretching surface has many applications in many industries such as: hot rolling, glass fiber production, plastic and rubber sheets manufacturing, and others.

The goal of this paper is to study the micropolar fluid flow over a semi-infinite porous stretching sheet, obtain the coupled non-linear differential equations, and find the analytic solution to the boundary layer equations arising in the stretching sheet problem.

This is one of the most typically arising problems in stretching sheet boundary layer flows. Further, the obtained solution has been discussed by using the suitable values of the essential parameters.
