The aim of the present investigation has been to consider rotational evolution of solar-type stars simulated by a polytropic model that possesses differential rotation of Clement's type. A properly defined reduction factor moderates the effects of such a rotation. The present treatment is based upon the general Eulerian equation, governing nonuniform (i.e., nonrigid-body) rotation, which has been set up in a previous investigation. Nonconservative terms, arising when stellar wind torque is under consideration, are taken into account. Data available for the viscosity of the Sun are used to construct a plausible viscosity model. Certain assumptions are made that remove the mathematical difficulties and simplify the physical ground. The obtained results are compared to corresponding estimates of recent observations.
