In this paper, entropy generation during the low temperature oxidation of a reacting pressure/temperature viscous fluid with heat transfer is investigated. We assume an adverse pressure gradient applied in the direction of the flow, the coupled energy and momentum equations were solved numerically. Previous results in literature (Adesanya et al [2006], [2007]) showed both velocity and temperature have two solutions. We compute the entropy generation for each set of solutions. Tables and figures feature prominently.
