This work examined the steady flow of a reactive variable viscous fluid in a porous cylindrical pipe. Dimensionless variables were used to dimensionalize the governing equations. A regular perturbation technique was employed to obtain an approximate solution of the resulting dimensionless non-linear equations. Numerical simulation was done to get the threshold values for the flow parameters under consideration.
