This study investigates peristaltic transport of Sutterby fluid in an inclined channel. Applied magnetic field is also inclined. Thermal radiation, Joule heating, and Soret and Dufour effects are present. The channel boundaries satisfy wall compliant and partial slip conditions. The problem description is simplified by employing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. Graphical solutions for axial velocity, temperature, concentration, and heat transfer coefficient are obtained via built-in numerical approach NDSolve. Similar response of velocity and concentration profiles has been recorded for larger inclination. The results reveal temperature drop with larger thermal radiation. Here, radiation and thermal slip increase heat transfer rate.

Abstract This article describes the influence of an inclined magnetic field on the mixed convective peristaltic transport of fluid in an inclined channel. Two types of non-Newtonian fluids are considered. The problem formulation is presented for the Eyring-Prandtl and Sutterby fluids. Viscous dissipation and Joule heating in the heat transfer process are retained. The presence of a heat source in the energy equation is ensured. The resulting problems are solved by the perturbation method. The plots for different parameters of interest are given and discussed. Numerical values of a heat transfer rate are given and analyzed
