This article explores the flow of viscous nanofluid over a stretching sheet with mixed convection. The main objective here is to examine the Newtonian heating effect. The partial differential equations are reduced to the ordinary differential equations (ODE). The resulting ODEs are computed for the convergent series solutions. Plots for physical quantities of interest are displayed and discussed. Local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed and analyzed.
