Abstract
We study the effects of viscous dissipation on flow and heat transfer in a thin liquid film on an unsteady stretching
sheet. A general surface temperature is taken into consideration. The velocity and temperature fields are solved
using the homotopy analysis method. The results show that the increasing values of the Eckert number can
increase temperature distribution and the heat transfer rate
