Here, an investigation of MHD Couette flow of a chemically reacting viscoelastic fluid past a deformable porous layer with entropy generation using Walters liquid model has been considered. A binary, homogeneous, and isotropic mixture of fluid and solid phases in the porous medium is considered. The impact of heat source parameter and Soret effect are taken into account. The governing equations are solved analytically to obtain the expressions for solid displacement, fluid velocity, temperature, and concentration. The impact of relevant parameters on the flow system, temperature, concentration, mass transfer flux, entropy generation number, and Bejan number are discussed graphically. It is observed that solid displacement enhances due to the growth of drag and viscoelastic parameter, while it reduces due to rising volume fraction parameter. Fluid velocity rises when the volume fraction parameter increases. Rising Brinkmann number enhances the temperature, while Brinkmann number and Soret number reduces the species concentration. The irreversibility of heat transfer dominates the flow near the channel plates, while the effect of fluid friction irreversibility can be observed within the channel centerline region.
