This paper examined the effectiveness of porosity on a variable-viscosity channel flow with non-uniform wall temperature. The flow is considered to be a steady, incompressible and the fluid viscosity varies linearly with temperature. The analytic expressions are obtained seeking asymptotic solutions for fluid velocity and temperature and these expressions are used to derive and obtain solutions for entropy generation rate and Bejan numbers with variations in other physical parameters present in the fluid flow.
