Abstract

This article addresses the influence of double-diffusivity convection in nanofluids in relation to peristaltic flow of magneto couple stress fluid in a nonuniform channel. Firstly, mathematical formulations of magneto couple stress fluid in the presence of double-diffusivity convection in nanofluids for 2-dimensional and 2-directional flows are described in detail. The highly nonlinear equations are simplified using approximation of long wavelength and low but finite Reynolds number. Exact solutions of stream function, axial induced magnetic field, axial pressure gradient, nanoparticle volume fraction temperature and concentration are computed. Graphical representations of numerous physical parameters of interest are presented to explain the conduct of flow quantities. It is observed from graphical plots that temperature profile and solutal concentration increases by increasing values of thermophoresis, Brownian motion, Soret and Dufour parameters.
