This paper describes the two-dimensional flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a non-porous channel with heat generation and a chemical reaction. Employing similarity transformations the governing non-linear partial differential equations are solved both analytically and numerically. Analytically, we used the homotopy analysis method and numerically, we used the Matlab in-built boundary value solver bvp4c. The effects of the Reynolds number Re, the Eckert number Ec, heat generation parameter delta, chemical reaction parameter gamma, and the local Grashof number Gc on the velocity, temperature, and concentration fields are shown through tables and graphs and discussed.
