Abstract
In this work, the second law analysis for a reactive couple stress fluid flowing steadily
through a channel filled with porous material is investigated. Based on perturbation method, analytical
expressions for fluid velocity and temperature are derived and used to compute entropy generation
rate, irreversibility distribution ratio in the flow field and results are presented graphically and discussed.
