Exploration of radiative heat energy on the peristaltic blood flow of a nanofluid in conjunction with a heat source

Abstract

AbstractThe peristaltic flow of a conducting nanofluid associated with the Buongiorno model observed within a wavy channel is proposed in this article. In a peristaltic flow, the process of pumping takes place from a lower pressure to a high‐pressure region. It is treated as a vehicle through which the liquid passes in a channel due to its dynamic rush and expands in its length. Therefore, an analysis is carried out for the interaction of thermal radiation and heat source on the peristaltic flow of nanofluid past a tapered channel. The crux of this investigation is the interaction of Hall current due to the conjunction of conducting medium. An analytical technique is used to get the solution of the transformed governing equations, and furthermore, the pressure gradient is also evaluated. The flow phenomena characterized by certain parameters are obtained and presented via graphs. An important observation is seen in that the contribution of magnetic field and Hall current may favor the pumping process and the pressure gradient lowering in the conducting medium is one of the important characteristics.
