| Abstract: | In the present analysis we discuss the effects of mixed convective heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic flow of a non‐Newtonian fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity c away from the fixed frame. The governing equations for the present flow problem are first modeled and then discussed. The analytical solution of the present flow problem is discussed using regular perturbation technique. The graphical results are discussed to see the effects of various physical parameters of interest. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
