Abstract

Thermal performance of peristaltic pump are significant to enhance the efficiency of the system. Heat transfer analysis for peristalsis of hybrid nanofluid through a curved duct is investigated here. Effect of radially varying magnetic field, Joule heating and heat generation/absorption are taken into consideration. Viscous dissipation and thermal radiation effects are considered to improve the heat transfer rate. Thermal and viscous characteristics are varying according to temperature. Velocity slip and temperature jump constraints are employed to solve the problem. The solution of resulting system are obtained under the lubrication technique. Curvature effect are also discussed to observe variation in the flow rate. NDSolve is built in shooting technique that are used in Mathematica software to find the solution. Numerical results for pertinent non-dimensional parameters are presented graphically. Heat transfer characteristics are represented through table. Results revealed that the inclusion of nanomaterials in liquid improves the cooling process and perturbs the flow rate. Comparative analysis indicates that heat transfer rate are 4% higher in the case of copper nanomaterial as compare to iron oxide nanomaterial. The results of present study has relevance with cancer therapy, heart surgery and drug delivery processes.
