Abstract: Peristaltic transport of a Newtonian fluid, with heat transfer, in a vertical porous axisymmetric tube under long wave length approximation is considered. Closed form solution is obtained as an asymptotic expansion in terms of porosity and free convection parameters. Expressions for temperature, coefficient of heat transfer and pressure -flow relationship at the boundary wall of the tube are derived. It is observed that pressure drop increases as amplitude ratio increases. Further, it has been observed that for some specific values of otherparameters under consideration the mean flux significantly increases by about 8 to 10 percent as Grashof number increasesfrom 1 to 2.
