Abstract
The heat transfer phenomenon in the flow of non-Newtonian fluids is important in the manufacturing processes of plastic products, cooling systems polymer solutions and extrusion and injection phenomena, etc. The motivation behind this study is to explore the thermal aspects of Burger non-Newtonian fluids by applying exponential heat source–sink, mixed convection phenomenon and thermal radiation. The analysis was done for different values of fluid viscosity. The numerical methodology is based on the implementation of a variational iteration technique. It is concluded that consideration of variable fluid viscosity is important to improve the heat transfer phenomenon more precisely. It is seen that the temperature profile increases with exponential heat source parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
