The effect of temperature-dependent viscosity on heat transfer over a continuous moving surface with variable internal heat generation

摘要

The effect of temperature-dependent viscosity on heat transfer over a continuous moving surface with variable internal heat generation is studied. The boundary layer equations are transformed to ordinary differential equations containing a Prandtl number, viscosity/temperature parameter and heat source (or sink) parameter. The velocity profiles, temperature profiles, the skin friction coefficient and the rate of heat transfer are computed and discussed in detail for various values of viscosity/temperature, heat source generation and Prandtl number.
