Abstract The present paper examines the peristaltic mechanism of a Jeffrey fluid through an elastic tube. The influence of velocity slip, convective boundary
conditions, and variable liquid properties are taken into account. Closed form solutions are obtained for velocity, flux and temperature fields. In order
to linearize the temperature equation, perturbation technique is employed. Also, the flux is determined theoretically via Rubinow and Keller and
Mazumdar approach and the results are compared graphically. The effects of various vital parameters on the fluid flow are sketched and analyzed
graphically. The findings emphasize the importance of elastic parameters More >
