• VISCOUS DISSIPATION AND HEAT SOURCE/SINK EFFECTS ON FLOW OVER STRETCHING SHEET

Abstract

Flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a stretching surface played an important rule due to its important from industry such as the extrusion of polymers, the cooling of metallic plates, etc. The steady state analysis of an incompressible viscous fluid over a flat sheet is studied and the effects of viscous dissipation and heat source are taken into account in the energy equation. The governing equations for the fluid over stretching surface are solved numerically with the boundary conditions using Nachtsheim-Swigert iteration technique. Numerical results are presented in the form of velocity and temperature profiles with the boundary layer for different parameters.
