This paper investigates the entropy generation in a third-grade fluid flow with variable properties through a channel. Approximate solutions to the nonlinear boundary-value problem are obtained using Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Variation of important parameters on the fluid velocity, temperature distribution, entropy generation and irreversibility ratio are presented graphically and discussed
