Stretched Flow of Casson Fluid with Variable Thermal Conductivity

Abstract

This paper looks at the stagnation point flow of Casson fluid towards a stretching surface. In addition, heat transfer analysis is discussed. The thermal conductivity varies linearly with temperature. Series solutions are first presented and then studied for different parameters of interest in this problem.
