Abstract

In this paper, we consider the spherically symmetric space-time in five dimensions in Brans-Dicke (Phys. Rev. 124:925, 1961) theory of gravitation in the presence of perfect fluid distribution. A determinate solution of the highly non-linear field equations is presented using (i) relation between metric potentials and (ii) an equation of state which represents disordered radiation in five dimensional universe. The solution obtained describes five dimensional radiating model in Brans-Dicke theory. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.
