In this work, the peristaltic motion of a nano non-Newtonian fluid which obeys Carreau model through a porous medium inside an asymmetric channel is investigated. The hall current effects with Joule heating and viscous dissipation are considered. The problem is modulated mathematically by a set of nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and concentration of nanoparticles. The non-dimensional form of these equations is simplified under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number, and then resulting equations of coupled nonlinear differential equations are tackled numerically with appropriate boundary conditions. Graphical results are presented for dimensionless velocity, temperature, concentration and pressure gradient in order to illustrate the variations of various parameters of this problem on these obtained solutions.
