Abstract

Incompressible peristaltic flow of a micro-polar fluid through a permeable non-uniform channel in the vicinity of an inclined magnetic field with heat and mass transfer is investigated in the present study. Effects of heat generation, radiation and spin velocity on the fluid are also studied. Presumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are utilized. Mathematical expressions for axial velocity, micro-rotation speed, pressure gradient, volumetric stream rate, temperature and concentration are described in the physical area. The impact of different applicable physical parameters is dissected hypothetically and figured numerically. The outcomes got are delineated and showed graphically. The outcomes determine that the impact of Magnetic  field, coupling number, micropolar parameter, slip parameter, inclination of magnetic field parameter, porosity parameter, heat  generation and thermal radiation parameter is extremely protuberant in the phenomena.
