Mixed convection boundary layer flow over a moving vertical flat plate in an external fluid flow with viscous dissipation effect

The steady boundary layer flow of a viscous and incompressible fluid over a moving vertical flat plate in an external moving fluid with viscous dissipation is theoretically investigated. Using appropriate similarity variables, the governing system of partial differential equations is transformed int...
