This study theoretically investigates the effects of viscous dissipation and boundary plate thickness on an incompressible heat generating/absorbing fluid with non‐uniform internal temperature unlike lumped heat capacitance assumption. The flow, which is laminar is induced by free convection caused by asymmetric heating of the channel boundaries and internally generated energy caused by viscous dissipation. In addition, convection through the boundary plates is also considered in the flow formation. One of the plates channel moves along the flow direction while the other is stationary. Due to the non‐linear and coupling nature of the governing flow equations, homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been adopted to analytically find the approximate solution to the problem. The effects of thermodynamic and hydrodynamic parameters are depicted in graphs and tables. It is discovered from the investigation that, both the velocity and temperature profiles increase with increase in viscous dissipation. Velocity distribution decreases with increase in Biot number while the temperature distribution near the heated plate increases with increase in Biot number. The increase in boundary plate thickness d causes a boost in the fluid flow across the medium and reduces the temperature of the fluid near the heated plate. It is further discovered that the rate of heat transfer on both plates increase with increase in Biot number while they drastically dropped when the boundary plate thickness d is increased. The shear stresses on the surface of both plates increase with increase in heat generation while reverse cases were observed with increase in heat absorption . It is further observed that the volume flow rate within the channel increases with increase in viscous dissipation .
