| Abstract | ||||
| The heat transfer analysis during melting process in steady flow of an incompressible Burgers’ fluid over stretching surface is investigated. The two-dimensional flow equations are modeled and then simplified by employing boundary layer analysis. The solution to the arising nonlinear problem is computed. Interpretation of various emerging parameters is given through graphs for velocity and temperature fields. Furthermore tables are constructed in order to show a comparative study with the previous published results. Comparison shows an excellent agreement with the previous limiting investigations in the field. | ||||
