Popis: Present study explores the discussion on combined effects of Joule heating and viscous dissipation on a three-dimensional flow of Oldroyd B nanofluid. The model describes that flow is generated by bidirectional stretching sheet with thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects and also energy equation contain radiation term. Converted self similar equations are solved via shooting algorithm with RKF 45 method. The influences of Joule heating and viscous dissipation are discussed through graphs. It is noticed that combination of Joule and viscous heating, the temperature of Oldroyd B nanofluid profile increases. Keywords: Three-dimensional flow, Oldroyd B nanofluid, Joule heating, Viscous dissipation, Thermal radiation
