Abstract
This work will scrutinize the flow of non-Newtonian Sisko fluid owing to a nonlinearly stretching sheet. The mingle effect of viscous dissipation and non-uniform heat generation are also supposed in this work. In our work, we contribute toward gaining the similar solution for our problem. Eventually, the group of equations controlling the problem is reduced to a couple of characteristic equations, the first represents the momentum whereas the second is the energy equation. Shooting method is then applied further to get the numerical solution for this yielded set of equations. Also, this proposed model may enable us to evaluate both the skin friction coefficient and the Nusselt number. Finally, our proposed research agrees very well with related works.
