Abstract

In a recent paper by Cortell (2008 Chin. Phys. Lett. 25 1340-2) the effect of radiation on the classical Sakiadis flow along a moving plate in a calm fluid was considered. The results in that paper have been produced using a linearized Rosseland approximation, which is valid only for small temperature differences between the plate and the ambient fluid. In the present work, we extend the above work to a nonlinear Rosseland approximation, which is valid for both small and large temperature differences.
