Purpose The main purpose of this paper is to study the effect of heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of a magnetohydrodynamic Walters B fluid through a porous medium in an inclined asymmetric channel. Design/methodology/approach The approximate analytical solutions of the governing partial differential equations are obtained using the regular perturbation method by taking wave number as a small parameter. The solutions for the pressure difference and friction forces are evaluated using numerical integration. Findings It is noticed that the pressure gradient and pressure difference are increasing functions of inclination angle and Grashof number. The temperature and heat transfer coefficients both increase with increase in inclination angle, Darcy number, Grashof number and Prandtl number. Increase in Hartmann number and phase difference decreases the size of trapped bolus. Originality/value The problem is original, as no work has been reported on the effect of magnetohydrodynamics on the peristaltic flow of a Walters B fluid through a porous medium in an inclined asymmetric channel with heat transfer.

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.

Peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is undertaken when the no-slip condition at the channel wall is no longer valid. The considered fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting. The flow is investigated in a waveframe of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The analytic solution has been derived for the stream function under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameter on the axial velocity and shear stress are discussed in detail. The salient features of pumping and trapping are discussed with particular focus on the effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameters.
