Temperature field in non-Newtonian flow over a stretching plate

AbstractThis study deals with temperature distribution in visco-elastic fluid of Walters' Liquid B Model over a horizontal stretching plate. The velocity of the plate is proportional to the distance from the slit. The temperature field over a stretching surface subject to both constant temperature and uniform heat flux is obtained. It is shown that temperature at a point descreases with descreases in the visco-elastic parameter K0∗. The dimensionless heat transfer coefficient and the temperature distribution of the stretching plate are determined for various values of K0∗
