ABSTRACT

An analysis has been presented to study heat transfer, including the effects of temperature-dependent viscosity in the laminar boundary layer over a linearly stretching, continuous surface. Viscous dissipation and internal heat generation effects are included. The governing momentum and energy equations are solved numerically. Results are presented for two cases, namely, the prescribed surface temperature case and prescribed surface heat flux case.
