Magneto peristaltic flows of nanofluids play a key role in magnetic drug transport systems. Therefore, peristalsis of a nanofluid through a uniform porous medium under the influence of a uniform magnetic force is studied here. Ohmic heating and Hall aspects are incorporated in the analysis. Three distinct types of nanoparticles (ie, silver, alumina, and copper) have been used for theoretical analysis. A large wavelength and a small Reynolds number scheme are adopted in mathematical modeling. The dimensionless nonlinear system is solved using the well‐known perturbation method, and physical analysis is done via graphs. A comparison of different nanoparticles is also presented. It is noticed that an increase in the Hall effects nullifies the variations, which are due to an increment in the Hartman number. The temperature of the nanofluid can be reduced by increasing the permeability of the porous medium.
