Abstract :The present study investigates the magnetohydrodynamic non-Newtonian peristaltic flow of the Casson fluid model embedded with a chemical reaction. The assumption of small Reynolds number and approximations of long-wavelength are considered. The constituent equations are analytically solved by the method of decomposition by Adomian. Distributions of the velocity field, pressure gradient and concentration field are obtained. The simulations of influencing parameters on the behaviour of the fluid model have been elaborated with the help of graphs, and detailed analysis has been done. It can be observed that both the reaction parameter and Schmidt Number show similar behaviour for concentration profile. The graphs clearly show that the fluid parameter drastically reduces the pressure rise and pressure gradient. The pressure gradient will be increased by the increase in Hartmann number, but it reduces the pressure rise.
