A mathematical model is presented to study the combined viscous electro-osmotic (EO) flow and heat transfer in a finite length microchannel with peristaltic wavy walls in the presence of Joule heating. The unsteady two-dimensional conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy conservation with viscous dissipation, heat absorption, and electrokinetic body force, are formulated in a Cartesian co-ordinate system. Both single and train wave propagations are considered. The electrical field terms are rendered into electrical potential terms via the Poisson-Boltzmann equation, Debye length approximation, and ionic Nernst Planck equation. A parametric study is conducted to evaluate the impact of isothermal Joule heating and electro-osmotic velocity on axial velocity, temperature distribution, pressure difference, volumetric flow rate, skin friction, Nusselt number, and streamline distributions.
