Abstract: A magneto couple stress nanofluid flow along with double diffusive convection is presented for peristaltic induce flow through symmetric nonuniform channel. A comprehensive mathematical model is scrutinized for couple stress nanofluid magneto nanofluids and corresponding equations of motions are tackled by applying small Reynolds and long wavelength approximation in viewing the scenario of the biological flow. Computational solution is exhibited with the help of graphical illustration for nanoparticle volume fraction, solutal concentration and temperature profiles in MATHEMTICA software. Stream function is also computed numerically by utilizing the analytical expression for nanoparticle volume fraction, solutal concentration and temperature profiles. Whereas pressure gradient profiles are investigated analytically. Impact of various crucial flow parameter on the pressure gradient, pressure rise per wavelength, nanoparticle volume fraction, solutal concentration, temperature and the velocity distribution are exhibited graphically. It has been deduced that temperature profile is significantly rise with Brownian motion, thermophoresis, Dufour effect, also it is revealed that velocity distribution really effected with strong magnetic field and with increasing non-uniformity of the micro channel. The information of current investigation will be instrumental in the development of smart magneto-peristaltic pumps in certain thermal and drug delivery phenomenon.<br /> (© 2022. The Author(s).)
