Abstract: The peristaltic flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Tangent hyperbolic fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is investigated. The governing equations for the proposed fluid model are derived in Cartesian coordinates system. Simultaneous effects of slip and heat transfer have been taken into account for the present analysis. Regular perturbation method is utilised to get the solutions for stream function, temperature, pressure gradient and heat transfer coefficients. The present solutions are compared with the existing work and comparison is shown through table. The presented graphical results analyse the variations of embedded parameters into the flow system.

Keywords: slip conditions; heat transfer; inclined channels; Tangent hyperbolic fluids; peristaltic flow; magnetohydrodynamics; MHD; modelling; stream function; temperature; pressure gradient.
