Abstract

This paper addresses the peristaltic flow of magnetohydrodynamic viscous fluid in an inclined compliant wall channel. Different wave amplitudes and phases ensure asymmetry in the channel flow configuration. Simultaneous effects of heat and mass transfer are also considered. Viscous dissipation effect is present. The flow and heat transfer are investigated under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumption. The expressions for stream function, axial velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. The solution expressions for physical quantities are sketched and discussed. It is found that Brinkman and Hartman numbers have reverse effect on the temperature.
