Peristaltic transport of radiative and dissipative MHD third order nanofluid through the vertical asymmetric channel with heat and mass convection

Abstract

: The fundamental purpose of the present study is to provide a novel framework for investigating the peristaltic flow through a vertical asymmetric channel filled with a magnetic third order nanofluid model saturated in a porous medium under the influence of varying electrical conductivity. The essential characteristics of Brownian and thermophoresis phenomena are additionally included in the modelling of the heat equation, in besides joule heating, viscous dissipation, heat generation/absorption, and nonlinear thermal radiation. Furthermore, the effects of double diffusion convection are examined, with a small Reynolds number along with extended wavelength examples that reflect biological scientific assumptions are used. The software Mathematica's built-in command ND Solve is implemented to solve the derived nonlinear ordinary differential equations system numerically. One of the most significant phenomena concerning peristaltic motion, known as the trapping phenomenon, has also been spotlighted using contour plots and circulating bolus. The key discoveries showed that the size of the trapping bolus tends to decrease while the density of trapping bolus increases with an enhancement in the temperature- and concentration-dependent electrical conductivity coefficient. Further, for all areas under consideration, the rate of heat and mass transmission is enhanced due to an augmentation in the coefficient of temperature-dependent electrical conductivity.
