Abstract
The understanding of flow behaviour of non-Newtonian fluids in the presence of nanoparticles is of great interest from an industrial point of view. Bulk addition of nano-sized particles in fluid enhance thermo-physical properties of fluid which is of crucial importance to industries such as medicine, agriculture, electronics etc. Current study discusses thermophoretic diffusion and Brownian motion in peristaltic flow of Carreau-Yasuda nanofluid in tube-like (endoscopic) structure. Unlike many existing studies, the nonlinear radiation effect in the presence of heat and mass transfer i.e., mixed convection is considered. Dissipation, Joule heating and heat source, sink effects are modelled. The governing mathematical problems are numerically solved. Non-dimensionalization is achieved via use of lubrication approach and streamline functions. Quantities like velocity, temperature, concentration, heat transfer rate and trapping are addressed. Observing effects of Weissenberg number (We = 0.1 − 0.3) on fluid flow conclude that velocity as well as the size of trapped bolus increases as We is increased. Heat transfer rate enhances as temperature ratio parameter (θ1 = 0.3 − 0.7) is increased.
