Heat transfer in a viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet. (English) Zbl 0907.76006

Summary: We present an analytical solution for the heat transfer in the steady laminar flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid past a semi-infinite stretching sheet with power-law surface temperature or power-law surface heat flux, including the effects of viscous dissipation and internal heat generation or absorption. Important physical quantities such as the coefficients of skin friction and heat transfer are obtained. Asymptotic results for the temperature function at large Prandtl numbers are presented.
