Effect of Thermal Radiation, Temperature Jump and Inclined Magnetic Field on the Peristaltic Transport of Blood Flow in an Asymmetric Channel with Variable Viscosity and Heat Absorption/Generation

Abstract

This article is aimed at describing the effect of thermal radiation, heat source/sink and thermal slip on the peristaltic flow of blood in an asymmetric channel. Mathematical analysis has been carried out in the presence of aligned magnetic field. The physical problem is first modeled, and then, the solutions of coupled nonlinear differential equations are obtained by means of regular perturbation method. Assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations were adopted. Physical characteristics of various embedded parameters such as Hartmann number, radiation parameter, aligned magnetic field parameter and heat source/sink parameter are illustrated and discussed graphically.
