Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation on unsteady two dimensional viscous and incompressible boundary layer flow and heat transfer from a stretching surface. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation. The governing equations are solved through the use of Spectral relaxation method. The solution is found to be dependent on the governing parameters including the Prandtl number, unsteadiness parameter, thermal radiation parameter, Eckert number and power law temperature parameter. Flow profiles are presented graphically for various values of the problem parameters.
