Abstract The main emphasis of this article is to examine the peristaltic transport of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Prandtl-Eyring nanofluid in an inclined symmetric channel with compliant walls. Nanofluid including thermophoresis and Brownian motion is taken into account. Two-dimensional governing equations for the peristaltic motion of Prandtl-Eyring nanofluid are modeled in the presence of chemical reaction. The resulting dimensionless nonlinear system is numerically solved for velocity, temperature, and concentration. The effects of various dimensionless parameters on fluid flow are featured through graphs. This analysis reveals that the influence of wall tension and wall mass parameters on axial velocity are increasing whereas the impact of wall damping parameter on velocity is decaying. The opposite effect of thermophoresis parameter and Brownian motion parameter on both temperature and heat transfer coefficient are observed. The destructive chemical reaction causes decay in temperature, nanoparticle concentration, and heat transfer coefficient.
