Abstract: The peristaltic flow of a heated Jeffrey fluid inside a duct with an elliptic cross-section is studied. A thorough heat transfer mechanism is interpreted by analyzing the viscous effects in the energy equation. The governing mathematical equations give dimensionless partial differential equations after simplification. The final simplified form of the mathematical equations is evaluated with respect to the relevant boundary conditions, and the exact solution is attained. The results are further illustrated by graphs, and the distinct aspects of peristaltic flow phenomena are discussed.

Key words: peristalsis, elliptic duct, Jeffrey fluid, streamline
