Abstract
In this paper, we examine the combined effects of magnetic field, thermal radiation, heat source, velocity slip
and thermal jump on peristaltic transport of an electrically conducting Walters-B fluid through a compliant
walled channel. Using small wave number approach, the nonlinear model differential equations are obtained
and tackled analytically by regular perturbation method. Expressions for the stream function, velocity,
temperature, skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient are constructed. Pertinent results are
presented graphically and discussed quantitatively. It is found that the velocity distribution depresses while
the fluid temperature rises with an increase in Hartmann number. The trapping phenomenon is observed and
the size of trapped bolus increases with an increase in Hartmann number.
