The aim of present communication is to investigate the thermal radiation effect on the peristaltic motion of dusty fluid in a channel. The channel walls satisfy the wall properties. Incompressible fluid is electrically conducting. Simultaneous effects of heat and mass transfer are discussed. Joule heating effects are retained. Resulting problems of fluid and dust particles are solved for small wave number. Expressions of stream function, temperature, concentration and heat transfer coefficients are constructed. Contributions of the sundry variables on the physical quantities of interest are examined.
