Flow of a Newtonian fluid in a symmetrically heated channel: Effect of viscosity and viscous dissipation

This paper discusses the effect of viscosity and viscous dissipation (due to a high velocity gradient) on the steady flow of a viscous liquid in a symmetrically heated channel. The coupled nonlinear differential equations arising in the planar Poiseuille flow are not amendable to analytical solution...
