    The study of electro-osmosis, peristalsis and heat transfer with numerous slips, such as velocity slip, thermal slip and concentration slip, may be used to construct biomimetic thermal pumping systems at the microscale of interest in physiological transport phenomena. A mathematical model has been developed to investigate magnetohydro-dynamics non-Newtonian (Carreau fluid) flow induced by the forces to produce a pressure gradient. The walls of the microchannels erode as they expand. The Poisson and Nernst–Planck equations are used to model electro-osmotic processes. This procedure results in Boltzmann circulation of the electric potential across the electric double layer. The governing equations are simplified by approximations such as a low Reynolds number and a long wavelength. The ND Solver in Mathematica simulates and compares simplified coupled nonlinear governing equations. We investigate novel physical parameters affecting flow, heat transfer and pumping. Additionally, a fundamental peristaltic pumping phenomenon known as trapping is graphically provided and briefly discussed. The model’s findings show that the velocity increases as the electric field intensifies, implying that electro-osmosis may improve peristaltic flow.
