This paper discusses the effects of magnetic field and heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible fluid in a channel with compliant walls. Mathematical formulation for the fourth grade fluid is presented. Relations of stream function, temperature, concentration field, and heat transfer coefficient are derived. The variations of the interesting parameters entering into the problem are carefully analyzed.
