The problem of forced convection along an isothermal moving plate is a classical problem of fluid mechanics that has been solved for the first time in 1961 by Sakiadis (1961). It appears that the first work concerning mixed convection along a moving plate is that of Moutsoglou and Chen (1980). Thereafter, many solutions have been obtained for different aspects of this class of boundary layer problems. In the previous works the fluid properties have been assumed constant. Ali (2006) in a recent paper treated, for the first time, the mixed convection problem with variable viscosity. He used the local similarity method to solve this problem but there are doubts about the validity of his results. For that reason we resolved the above problem with the direct numerical solution of the boundary layer equations without any transformation.
