The problem of peristaltic flow of a nanofluid in an asymmetric channel is analyzed by taking into account the slip effects. The relevant equations for the nanofluid are presented and simplified by the long wavelength and small Reynolds number. Closed form solutions for stream function and pressure gradient are developed. However series expressions for temperature and Nanoparticle profiles are constructed. Finally, the influence of several parameters on the physical quantities of interest is discussed.
