Pharmacological and engineering biomedical applications of peristaltically induced flow in a curved channel

Abstract

This research discusses the merged effect on the peristaltic mechanism of hyperbolic tangent fluid in a curved channel of the wall properties and heat/mass transference. The mathematical model is examined by considering small number of Reynolds and long wavelength. For small Weissenberg number using perturbation technique, solution of stream function, concentration, temperature, velocity and heat transfer coefficient are achieved. With the aid of graphs, the related parameters used are discussed. It is worth mentioning that velocity and temperature profiles are parabolistic, amplitude of temperature increases upon increasing the wall parameters, behavior of heat transfer coefficient is oscillatory and the scale of trapped bolus increased with the curvature parameter.
