Abstract
A new mathematical model has been developed for the peristaltic transport of Maxwell fluid with heat
and mass transfer, while taking into account the effect of thermal diffusion (Soret), occurring in an asymmetric
channel with creeping flow. The inertia terms are omitted from the equations of motion, which
leads to solutions that approximately valid for low Reynolds number, i.e. Re 1. The walls are kept at
different but constant temperatures and concentrations. A perturbation solution is acquired, which satisfies
the momentum, energy and concentration equations for the case by choosing a small wave number.
Numerical results are evaluated for pressure rise and frictional forces per wavelength. The velocity, temperature
and concentration fields have been appraised for diverse values of the parameters entering into
the problem. The influence of diverse parameters of interest on pumping, trapping, temperature and concentration
profiles has been investigated graphically.
