Abstract The Carreau viscosity model for a moving wedge with heat generation/absorption along with chemically reactive species has not been debated until yet. Therefore, this communication support these specifications in addition with steady boundary layer flow through a wedge. For this purpose, the mathematical model is constructed in terms of coupled partial differential equations and then sorted out in a numerical way with the aid of Runge-Kutta Fehlberg technique chartered with shooting scheme. To inspect the effects of physical parameter upon temperature and concentration, graphs are plotted. The temperature is examined for positive and negative values of heat generation parameter. The temperature profile enhances for the positive values while the influence of negative values show the declined nature. Further, the concentration gets diminished on chemical reaction parameter.
