Abstract:

The Newtonian heating effects in the stagnation point flow of a Burgers fluid are addressed in this paper. The boundary layer flow problems are stated in the spatial domain from zero to infinity. The solution expressions for the velocity and the temperature are obtained and examined for the influential variables. The tabulated values show comparison with the previous results. It is observed that the obtained results are in good agreement with the existing results in limiting sense.

Key words: Burgers fluid, Newtonian heating, series solutions
