  • Abstract
    This article addresses the peristaltic transport of Eyring-Prandtl fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel. Heat and mass transfer phenomena along with Soret and Dufour effects is analyzed. Effects of inclined magnetic field and Joule heating are also discussed. Long wavelength approximation is adopted. Numerical computations for flow quantities of interest are analyzed. It is found that the parabolic velocity profile tends to shift from center of the channel towards the channel walls in the case of opposing flow. Velocity and temperature decrease whereas concentration increases by increasing the non-Newtonian parameter. Further the dependence of magnetic field on the angle is quite significant.
