We consider the influence of temperature and small eccentricity \(\delta\) on the steady axis symmetry flow of thermally stratified fluid between two rotating eccentric spheres, at low Reynolds number. Gravity is taken to act radially towards the origin. Solution is obtained by using regular perturbation technique by expanding the physical quantities in double power series involving the parameter Re and \(\delta\). Stream-lines drawn at different speed ratios show the influence of eccentricity on the flow. The local heat flux on the inner sphere fluctuates due to the eccentricity.
