In the present paper, we have studied the influence of heat transfer and magnetic field on a peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel with partial slip. The complicated Jeffrey fluid equations are simplified using the long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. In the wave frame of reference, an exact and closed form of Adomian solution is presented. The expressions for pressure drop, pressure rise, stream function, and temperature field have been calculated. The behaviour of different physical parameters has been discussed graphically. The pumping and trapping phenomena of various wave forms (sinusoidal, multisinusoidal, square, triangular, and trapezoidal) are also studied.

In this article, the problem of a non-Newtonian fluid (micropolar) flow over a horizontal melting surface in the presence of internal heat source and dual stretching (i.e. at the wall and at the free stream) is presented. Since the magnetic-Reynold of the flow is substantial, the influence of induced magnetic field is properly accounted in the governing equation. The viscosity and thermal conductivity of the micropolar fluid are considered to vary linearly with temperature. Classical models of these thermophysical properties were modified to suit the case of melting heat transfer. A similarity transformation is applied to reduce the governing partial differential equation to coupled ordinary differential equation corresponding to dimensionless momentum, angular momentum, energy and induced magnetic field equation. These equations along with the boundary conditions are solved numerically using shooting method along with Runge-Kutta-Gill method together with quadratic interpolation. The results of the present study indicate that due to the formation of boundary layer on melting surface (region of low heat energy) in the presence of induced magnetic field, space and temperature dependent internal heat generation enhances the heat transfer rate.
