Abstract

The present investigation is concerned with the peristaltic flow of an incompressible and magnetohydrodynamic MHD third order fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel. Both thermal and velocity slip conditions have been taken into account. The channel walls are maintained at different temperatures. The governing differential systems subjected to their boundary conditions have been solved for small Deborah number. In the derived solution expressions, the long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions are utilized. Graphical results are presented for the pressure rise, longitudinal velocity and temperature. Comparison with the previous published work regarding viscous fluid and no-slip case is performed. Pumping and trapping phenomena are displayed graphically just to examine the various interesting aspects of the present work.
