Bianchi type-I cosmological effective stiff fluid model in Saez and Ballester theory

The problem of viscous fluid distribution in Bianchi type I space-time is considered here in a new scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986). Particular solutions of the field equations are derived assuming the viscous coefficient to be the power functions of energy density. Some physical and geometrical properties of the solutions are also discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
