This paper investigates the peristaltic transport of an incompressible micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel with heat source/sink and convective boundary conditions. Mathematical formulation is completed in a wave frame of reference. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is adopted. The solutions for velocity, microrotation component, axial pressure gradient, temperature, stream function, and pressure rise over a wavelength are obtained. Velocity and temperature distributions are analyzed for different parameters of interest
