Abstract
The viscosity of a substance or material is intensely influenced by the
temperature, especially in the field of lubricant engineering where the changeable
temperature is well executed. In this paper, the problem of temperature-dependent
viscosity on mixed convection flow of Eyring Powell fluid was studied together
with Newtonian heating thermal boundary condition. The flow was assumed to
move over a vertical stretching sheet. The model of the problem, which is in partial differential equations, was first transformed to ordinary differential equations
using appropriate transformations. This approach was considered to reduce the
complexity of the equations. Then, the transformed equations were solved using
the Keller box method under the finite difference scheme approach. The validation process of the results was performed, and it was found to be in an excellent
agreement. The results on the present computation are shown in tabular form and
also graphical illustration. The major finding was observed where the skin friction
and Nusselt number were boosted in the strong viscosity.
