Abstract The present investigation examined the influence of heat source on a variable viscosity reactive Couette fluid flow. The upper plate moves with constant velocity while the lower plate is kept fixed. The heat source is considered to be a linear function of temperature while the fluid viscosity depends on temperature. The coupled set of differential equations regulating the fluid regime are obtained using the technique of Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). Graphical and tabular representations showed the impacts of heat source parameter by increasing the fluid motion and temperature. Finally, the outcome of the solutions compared with previously obtained results without the influence of internal energy parameter significantly showed the effects.
