Peristaltic transportation of thermally radiative Sutterby fluid in a tapered microfluidic vessel with convective conditions

Abstract

Fluid transport from one place to another place by peristaltic pumping is being employed to design the advanced pumping device widely applied in biomedical and industrial applications. Therefore, the peristaltic motion of electrically conducting Sutterby fluid in a tapered channel with slip velocity and convective conditions has been analyzed in this examination. The heat transfer mechanism is also scrutinized in conjunction with thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. The governing expressions of the proposed model are followed under the assumptions of the small Reynolds number hypothesis and long wavelength. The perturbation technique has been implemented to yield the outcome for velocity, energy, and streamlining. The pumping characteristic has been estimated by the Weddles rule. The impressions of numerous pertinent parameters on the flow fields are highlighted via graphs. It is observed from the current flow analysis that the velocity of the flow increases by increasing the Sutterby fluid parameter while it declines with the magnetic parameter. Furthermore, the thermal radiation parameter decreases the temperature distribution of fluid. The current model has been used in bio-engineering processes, industrial fluid mechanics, thermal processing, and cooling systems.
