Abstract: In the present article, we have investigated the effects of heat transfer on peristaltic flow of carbon nanoparticles in a curved channel. Governing equations for flow and heat transfer are derived by analysing the effects of curvature of the curved channel and taking inboard the long wavelength and small Reynolds number assumptions. Exact solution is obtained for the stream function, which is used to find the velocity of the fluid flow in the curved channel. Effects of curvature parameter and Grashof number on the velocity and pressure gradient are analysed. The effect of heat transfer through the curved channel is also studied.
