Abstract: This paper addresses the peristaltic flow of Eyring-Powell fluid in a symmetric channel with convective conditions. The Soret and Dufour effects are considered. Impact of first order chemical reaction is seen. The channel walls are of compliant nature. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number concepts are implemented. Resulting problems are solved for the stream function, temperature and concentration. Graphical results are presented and discussed in detail for various pertinent parameters.
