Abstract

This article describes the effects of heat and mass transfer on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow in a planar channel with compliant walls. An incompressible Maxwell fluid occupies a porous space. The mathematical formulation is based upon the modified Darcy's law. The analytic treatment of the solution is given by choosing a small wave number. The expressions of stream function, temperature distribution, concentration field and heat coefficient are constructed. The variations of several interesting parameters are discussed by sketching plots.
