    Summary: The problem of steady, laminar, thermal Marangoni convection flow of Newtonian fluid over a flat surface is investigated. The boundary layer equations for the momentum and energy equations are transformed with the similarity solutions to ODEs to obtain the analytical approximate solutions. The analysis assumes that the temperature variation is a power law function of the location. The approximate solutions to the similarity equations are obtained by exponential series. The effects of the power law exponent and Prandtl number on the velocity and temperature profiles are presented.
