Abstract: We have considered a cosmological model with a phenomenological model for the cosmological constant of the form , is a constant. For age parameter consistent with observational data the Universe must be accelerating in the presence of a positive cosmological constant. The minimum age of the Universe is H01, where H0 is the present Hubble constant. The cosmological constant is found to decrease as t2. Allowing the gravitational constant to change with time leads to an ever increasing gravitational constant at the present epoch. In the presence of a viscous fluid this decay law for Lambda is equivalent to the one with Lambda=3alphaH2 (alpha=mconst.) provided . The inflationary solution obtained from this model is that of the de-Sitter type.
