This study examines the effects of viscous and porous dissipation on entropy generation in the viscoelastic fluid flow induced by a linearly stretching surface. Analysis of mass transfer is also performed. Consideration of rheological characteristics of viscoelastic fluid in the energy conservation law and entropy generation number in terms of viscous dissipation makes a striking difference in the energy equation and entropy generation number for Newtonian and viscoelastic fluid. This important concern which is yet not properly attended is also be examined in the present study. The dimensional governing equations are reduced to a set of self-similar differential equations. The energy and concentration equations are solved exactly by employing the Laplace transform technique. The obtained exact solutions of reduced set of governing equations are utilized to compute the entropy generation number. To analyze the impacts of flow parameter on velocity profile, temperature distribution, concentration profile, and entropy generation number inside the boundary layer, graphs are plotted and discussed physically. The permeability and viscoelastic parameters have strong influence on the entropy generation in the vicinity of stretching surface.
