An analysis has been carried out for peristaltic flow and heat transfer of a Carreau fluid in an asymmetric channel with slip effect. The governing problem is solved under long wavelength approximation. The variations of pertinent dimensionless parameters on temperature are discussed. Pumping and trapping phenomena are studied.

The peristaltic transport of a Carreau-Yasuda fluid in an asymmetric channel is studied. Problem formulation is given in the presence of nanoparticles and contributions of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are taken into account. Lubrication approach is employed. The resulting nonlinear system of equations is solved numerically, and the effects of sundry parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration are analyzed. Heat and mass transfer rates are computed and examined. The results show that the impact of the non-Newtonian parameters on flow quantities get reversed when we move from shear thinning to shear thickening fluids. The temperature of the nanofluid in presence of Brownian motion increases, furthermore the influence of Brownian motion parameter on temperature and concentration distributions is opposite
