A self-consistent system of gravitational field with a binary mixture of perfect fluid and dark energy given by a cosmological constant has been considered in Bianchi Type-V universe. The perfect fluid is chosen to be obeying either the equation of state p=γρ with γ ε |0,1| or a van der Waals equation of state. The role of A-term in the evolution of the Bianchi Type-V universe has been studied.

We have shown that, within the context of scalar-tensor theories, the anisotropic Bianchi-type cosmological models evolve towards de Sitter Universe. A similar result holds in the case of cosmology in Lyra manifold. Thus the analogue of cosmic no-hair theorem of Wald [1] hold in both the cases. In fact, during inflation there is no difference between scalar-tensor theories, Lyra’s manifold and general relativity (GR).

In this paper, we have studied the locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-I cosmological model filled with a bulk viscous cosmological fluid in $f(R)$ gravity in the presence of time-varying gravitational and cosmological constant. We have used the power-law and intermediate scenario for scale factor to obtain thesolution of the field equations. The evolution of temperature of a viscous Universe is also analysed.
