The Influences of Slippage and Hall Currents on Peristaltic Transport of a Maxwell Fluid with Heat and Mass Transfer Through a Porous Medium

Abstract

In this paper, the effects of slip velocity and Hall currents on peristaltic motion of a non-Newtonian fluid with heat and mass transfer through a porous medium inside a symmetric horizontal channel with flexible walls are studied. The fluid obeys Maxwell model, the ohmic and viscous dissipations are taken into account. Some of partial differential equations describe the fluid motion with the appropriate boundary conditions are written in dimensionless form and simplified by using the approximations of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. These equations are solved analytically, and the stream function, pressure rise, temperature, and concentration distributions are obtained as functions of physical parameters of the problem. The effects of the parameters of the problem on these solutions are discussed numerically and illustrated graphically through a set of figures. It is found that the physical parameters played important roles in controling the obtained solutions.
