Powell-Eyring Fluid Flow Over a Stretching Surface with Variable Properties

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on the stretching surface and heat transfer of a Powell-Eyring fluid with the effect of nonlinear thermal radiation. The Prandtl number is also considered to be varying
 within the boundary layer. The governing model which consists of a set of coupled non-linear partial differential equations is converted into a system of ordinary differential equations via suitable similarity transformations and then solved by a recent and reliable numerical method called
 the spectral quasi-linearization method is used in the computational analysis. The result shows that there is large variation in the value of the Nusselt number and skin friction co-efficient.
