Hi Ioanna
I have changed a bit the figure a bit (don't know what's meant by Pr
here )

NDSolve[{Derivative[3][f][x] + 2.4*f[x]*
      Derivative[2][f][x] - 0.8*Derivative[1][f][x]**2 + 
     z[x] == 0, Derivative[2][z][x] + 
     2.4*f[x]*Derivative[1][z][x] == 0, z[0] == 0, 
   Derivative[1][z][0] == 0, Derivative[2][f][0] == 0, 
   f[0] == 0, Derivative[1][f][10] == 0}, {f[x], z[x]}, 
  {x, 0, 10}]


NDSolve::"ndv" : "For a boundary value problem, only nth order single
linear \
ordinary differential equations is supported."

This means Mathematica NDSolve accepts only initial value problems (your
f'(10)==0 is the problem) for systems
