The two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a Jeffrey fluid is investigated in this paper. The characteristics of heat and mass transfer with chemical reaction have also been analyzed. Convective boundary conditions have been invoked for the thermal boundary layer problem. Exact similarity solutions for flow, temperature, and concentration are derived. Interpretation to the embedded parameters is assigned through graphical results for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction coefficient, and surface heat and mass transfer. The results indicate an increase in the velocity and the boundary layer thickness by increasing the rheological parameter of the Jeffrey fluid. An intensification in the chemical reaction leads to a thinner concentration boundary layer.

This paper investigates the peristaltic transport of an incompressible micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel with heat source/sink and convective boundary conditions. Mathematical formulation is completed in a wave frame of reference. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is adopted. The solutions for velocity, microrotation component, axial pressure gradient, temperature, stream function, and pressure rise over a wavelength are obtained. Velocity and temperature distributions are analyzed for different parameters of interest
