摘要
A numerical investigation into the effect of temperature-dependent fluid properties on the thin film flow along an inclined heated plate is presented. The equations governing the coupled flow and heat transfer are formulated based on couple stress non-Newtonian model. Solutions of the coupled nonlinear differential equations are tackled numerically by using the combination of shooting method and the Fehlberg-Runge-Kutta method. Findings are presented graphically and discussed precisely.
