Abstract
The present investigation is concerned with the problem of heat transfer and peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid using Rabinowitsch fluid model through a channel under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. Expressions for velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, friction force and temperature have been obtained. The effect of different parameters on velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, streamlines, friction force and temperature have been discussed through graphs.
Highlights
Peristalsis is an innate property of several biological systems and it occurs in the movement of urine from the kidney to bladder, vasomotion of small blood vessels, ovum transport in the fallopian tube and movement of chyme in the gastro-intestinal tract
Akbar and Butt (2015) studied heat transfer under the action of the peristaltic flow of viscous fluid with Herschel-Bulkley fluid model while considering that fluid flowing through a non-uniform inclined channel
Study of peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid with power law fluid model through the channel of varying width was done by Chaube et al (2015)
Summary
Peristalsis is an innate property of several biological systems and it occurs in the movement of urine from the kidney to bladder, vasomotion of small blood vessels, ovum transport in the fallopian tube and movement of chyme in the gastro-intestinal tract.
