Abstract
This paper addresses the peristaltic flow of Eyring-Powell fluid in a symmetric channel with convective conditions. The Soret and Dufour effects are considered. Impact of first order chemical reaction is seen. The channel walls are of compliant nature. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number concepts are implemented. Resulting problems are solved for the stream function, temperature and concentration. Graphical results are presented and discussed in detail for various pertinent parameters.
Highlights
The fluid transport by peristalsis has vital importance in biology, medicine and industry
The gastrointestinal tract is surrounded by innervated smooth muscle layers
The contraction of such muscle layers mix the contents of tract and responsible for food movement in an appropriate direction
Summary
The fluid transport by peristalsis has vital importance in biology, medicine and industry. Principle of peristalsis represents travelling contraction wave along a tube like structure Such mechanism occurs naturally as a mean of pumping physiological fluids from one place in the body to another. The phenomenon of peristalsis through peristaltic pumps is useful in the industries such as chemical industry, ceramic and porcelain industry, building industry, food and paper, heart-lung machine etc. In nuclear industry such activity is employed not to contaminate the outside environment. Heat transfer in biological tissues involve processes like heat conduction in tissues, heat convection due to blood flow through the pore of tissues, as well as radiation heat transfer between surface and its environment
