Abstract
In this paper, the study of non-Newtonian fluid flow with heat transfer in a porous asymmetric channel due to peristaltic wave was taken out. Hall current and Ohmic heating effects were introduced in the present study. A Casson non-Newtonian constitutive model was employed for the transport of fluid. Analytical solutions were obtained for stream function, temperature and heat transfer coefficient. The coupled nonlinear equations have also been solved numerically using MATLAB software (by bvp4c function). The influences of many evolving parameters on the flow characteristic have been explained with the help of 2D and 3D plots. Again the obtained results were compared with the results available in the literature and were found in good agreement.
Highlights
At present, investigation regarding the peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid cannot be ignored due to their vast applications in physiology and industry
Hall current and Ohmic heating effects were introduced in the present study
We have considered the same parameter values (Newtonian case and in absence of Ohmic heating) to do it
Summary
Investigation regarding the peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid cannot be ignored due to their vast applications in physiology and industry. This mechanism is associated with a spontaneous relaxing and compressing movement along the length of the fluid filled channel or tube. This property helps in crude oil refinement, food processing, sanitary fluid transport, and noxious fluid transport in nuclear industries [7]
