Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the effects of variable viscosity and thermal conductivity on peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel. The inclined magnetic field, viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also considered. Wave frame and long wavelength approximations are made to formulate the problem. Pressure gradient, pressure drop per wavelength, velocity and temperature profiles are calculated analytically and discussed graphically. Comparison is made with the previous work for reliability.
