This paper presents a study of the flow and heat transfer of an incompressible homogeneous second-grade fluid over a nonisothermal stretching sheet. The goveming partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by a similarity transformation. The effects of viscous dissipation, work due to deformation, internal heat generation/absorption and thermal radiation are considered in the energy equation, and the variations of dimensionless surface temperature and dimensionless surface temperature gradient as well as the heat transfer characteristics with various physical parameters are graphed and tabulated. Two cases are studied, namely, (i) a sheet with prescribed surface temperature (PST case) and (ii) a sheet with prescribed heat flux (PHF case). (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
