Abstract In the field of engineering, Biologically-inspired propulsion systems are getting the utmost importance. The theoretical analysis explores the effect of heterogeneous-homogeneous reactions on heat and thermal transfer analysis for incompressible Sutterby fluid. Using low Reynolds number and long wavelength assumptions, the governing system of equations of fluid transport problem is abridged and solved using the perturbation technique. The Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient are also incorporated in this contemplation. Particular attention is given to elastic parameters and Brinkman number and plotted their graph for velocity profile, temperature distribution, and concentration profile. It is initiated that momentum distribution profile is enhanced for higher values of elastic parameters, which is because less resistance occurs at the channel walls. The impact of heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions shows reverse bearing on the concentration field. Brinkman number (viscous dissipation effects) contributes to boosts the thermal profile for all the cases. Moreover, augmentation in skin friction is noticed by escalating the parametric values of damping and rigidity. The present study has a wide range of applications in biomedical engineering and biological functions i.e. electromagnetic peristaltic micro pumps.
