An analytical study is presented for couple stresses effects on MHD peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian Jeffery nanofluid. The fluid flows through a porous media between co-axial tubes under long-wavelength assumption. The inner tube is uniform, while the outer flexible tube has a sinusoidal wave traveling down its wall. Homotopy perturbation method is used to obtain analytical solutions which satisfies the governing equations. Numerical results for the behaviors of the axial velocity, temperature and nanoparticles with other physical parameters are obtained. Several graphs for these results of physical interest are displayed and discussed in detail.
