The paper deals with the theoretical investigation of study of peristaltic motion of nano particles of a micropolar fluid with heat and mass transfer effect in an inclined tube. Under the assumptions of low Reynolds's number and long wave length, the velocity, pressure drop, time averaged flux; frictional force and mechanical efficiency have been investigated using appropriate analytical methods. Effects of different physical parameters like micropolar parameter, coupling number, inclination, Brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter on pressure drop, frictional force, mechanical efficiency temperature profile, nano particle phenomena, heat transfer coefficient, mass transfer coefficient and streamline patterns have been studied. The present study puts forward an important note that for peristaltic transport of a micropolar fluid with nano particles can be considerably controlled by suitably adjusting the micropolar parameter, coupling number, Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter and inclination.
