In the present paper, we have studied the effects of endoscope and heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of second grade fluid through an inclined tube. The endoscope is a solid circular cylinder which is inserted in a peristaltic tube, and the flow takes place through the gap between endoscope and the peristaltic tube. The endoscope is maintained at a temperature [Formula: see text], while the outer tube has a sinusoidal wave traveling down its wall and is exposed to temperature [Formula: see text]. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The equations governing the flow of second grade fluid are modeled in cylindrical coordinates. Using perturbation method, the solutions are obtained for the stream function, pressure gradient and temperature fields. The pressure difference and frictional force at both the walls are calculated using numerical integration. The graphical results are presented to interpret the effect of various physical parameters of interest. It is found that, velocity increases with an increase in inclination angle and the best pumping rate appear in the vertical tube as compared to the horizontal tube. It is also found that, the heat generation parameter has an increasing effect on the velocity of the fluid.
