Electrokinetic peristaltic slip transport in an asymmetric porous microchannel is studied to explore the entropy production in steady magnetohydrodynamic Jeffery fluid under simulation of Debye and long-wavelength approximations. The emerging two-dimensional bounded problem with electrokinetic body forces is solved numerically. Appropriate combination of heat and momentum equations with Jeffery model, after non-dimensionalization, generated controlling parameters in order to determine velocity, pressure gradient, temperature, entropy production and Bejan number. The trapping mechanism is also visualized by drawing streamlines against governing parameters. The zeta potential signifies the flow and heat response of the system. Former parameters like Brinkman number and Joule heating are compatibly liable for the increase in thermal irreversibilities. The outcomes of the present analysis are applicable in designing the thermofluidic micropumps and biomicrofluidic devices for separation processes and diagnosis.
