Hydromagnetic peristaltic transport of water-based nanofluids with slip effects through an asymmetric channel

This paper addresses the effects of applied magnetic field and partial slip effects in peristalsis of water-based nanofluids in an asymmetric flow configuration. Analysis is carried out using silver and copper nanoparticles. Viscous dissipation, mixed convection, Ohmic heating and heat generation/absorption are considered. Mathematical modeling is done employing lubrication approximations. Resulting coupled system is solved numerically. Physical quantities like axial velocity, pressure gradient, temperature and heat transfer rate are graphically analyzed. Comparison between the silver–water and copper–water nanofluids is presented and analyzed. Results show that the maximum velocity, temperature and heat transfer rate at the wall in silver–water nanofluid are comparatively greater than that of copper–water nanofluid. It is also observed that addition of nanoparticles results in a decrease in the velocity and temperature of fluid. However, the heat transfer rate at the wall is enhanced through addition of ...
