  The warm inflation scenario in view of the modified Chaplygin gas is studied.
We consider the inflationary expansion is driven by a standard scalar field
whose decay ratio $\Gamma$ has a generic power law dependence with the scalar
field $\phi$ and the temperature of the thermal bath $T$. By assuming an
exponential power law dependence in the cosmic time for the scale factor
$a(t)$, corresponding to the intermediate inflation model, we solve the
background and perturbative dynamics considering that our model evolves
according to (i) weak dissipative regime and (ii) strong dissipative regime.
Specifically, we find explicit expressions for the dissipative coefficient,
scalar potential, and the relevant inflationary observables as the scalar power
spectrum, scalar spectral index, and tensor-to-scalar ratio. The free
parameters characterizing our model are constrained by considering the
essential condition for warm inflation, the conditions for the model evolves
according to weak or strong dissipative regime, and the 2015 Planck results
through the $n_s-r$ plane.
