This article is intended to study the peristaltic motion of a Prandtl nanoliquid through an inclined tapered asymmetric channel. The simultaneous effects such as magnetic field, thermal radiation and chemical reactions have been considered. The geometrical model is considered as tapered asymmetric channel because this situation is observed in the flow of uterine fluid in the uterus. The equations governing the flow are simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The simplified equations are complex in nature, so that the numerical solutions are presented for the simplified nonlinear partial differential equations considering slip and convective boundary conditions using computational software Mathematica via shooting method. The sundry parameters on the flow quantities have been discussed in detail through graphical and tabular forms. The observed results show that rise in the magnetic effects leads to a reduction in velocity. The radiation parameter decreases the temperature and there is an increment in the pressure gradient with an increase in energy Grashof number. This study is encouraged by exploring the nanofluid dynamics in peristaltic transport as symbolized by heat transport in biological flows, novel pharmacodynamic pumps and gastrointestinal motility enhancement.
