The effects of free convective Arrhenius-controlled heat transfer fluid in a microchannel encased by two parallel vertical plates has been examined in the current work. A new functional integration matrix has been developed by implementing Fibonacci Wavelet Frame known as Fibonacci wavelet Frame operational matrix. Primary goal of this study is to provide a unified method via FWF to compute an approximate solution to a non-linear differential equation systems for the fluid flowing in a microchannel. The leading nonlinear coupled differential equations has been tackled by this novel approach. The derived results are discussed visually and displayed with the help of various plots. Additionally, thermophysical parameters of engineering interest, such as the nusselt number and sheer stress are estimated and depicted in the graphs. It is worthwhile to note that fluid velocity and fluid temperature rises as the chemical reaction parameter value enhances. A remarkable agreement comes to light when the numerical data generated through the current method is compared with the findings from the previous work.
