Copper nanoparticle analysis for peristaltic flow in a curved channel with heat transfer characteristics

Abstract.In this paper, the mathematical investigation is carried out to discuss the metallic nanoparticle analysis for peristaltic flow in a curved channel. The study of copper nanoparticles in the peristaltic literature with water as base fluid is not explored yet for a curved channel. The equations for the Cu-water nanofluid are formulated for the first time in the literature and simplified under the long-wavelength and low-Reynolds-number assumptions. Exact solutions of nonlinear coupled differential equations are evaluated. The results are discussed graphically for different values of important parameters.
