Abstract:
Flow of an incompressible viscous fluid past a continuously moving semi-infinite plate is studied by taking into account variable viscosity and variable temperature. Velocity and temperature profiles are shown graphically whereas the numerical values of the skin-friction and the rate of heat transfer are listed in a table. The effect of different parameters on the flow field is discussed.
