| dc.description.abstract | In this study, the effects of temperature dependent viscosity and viscous dissipation on fluid flow over a moving flat
isothermal plate have been investigated. A steady two dimensional laminar boundary layer flow of incompressible,
Newtonian fluid past a flat plate with uniform surface velocity and temperature has been considered. The partial differential
equations governing the flow have been transformed into non- dimensional form and solved using finite difference
numerical method implemented in Java programing language. The numerical results obtained are presented graphically and
discussed. It has been observed that increasing variable viscosity parameter increases velocity whereas it decreases fluid
temperature. Increasing velocity ratio has been noted to increase fluid velocity but decreases fluid temperature. The effect
of increasing viscous dissipation parameter (Eckert number) is observed to increase fluid temperature. | en_US |
