Peristaltic transport of Rabinowitsch nanofluid with moving microorganisms
Abstract
Abstract The key objective of the current examination is to examine a symmetrically peristaltic movement of microorganisms in a Rabinowitsch fluid (RF). The Boussinesq approximation, buoyancy-driven flow, where the density with gravity force term is taken as a linear function of heat and concentrations, is kept in mind. The flow moves with thermophoretic particle deposition in a horizontal tube with peristalsis. The heat distribution and volume concentration are revealed by temperature radiation and chemical reaction characteristics. The originality of the existing study arises from the importance of realizing the benefits or the threats that nanoparticles, microbes, and bacteria cause in the flow inside peristaltic tubes. The results are an attempt to understand what factors perform additional advantages and or reduce damages. The controlling nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are made simpler by employing the long wavelength (LWL) and low-Reynolds numeral (LRN) approximations. These equations are subjected to a set of non-dimensional transformations that result in a collection of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). By employing the Homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the configuration of equational analytical solutions is examined. Analytical and graphical descriptions are provided for the distributions of axial speed, heat, microbes, and nanoparticles under the influence of these physical characteristics. The important findings of the current work may help to comprehend the properties of several variations in numerous biological situations. It is found that the microorganisms condensation decays with the rise of all the operational parameters. This means that the development of all these factors benefits in shrinking the existence of harmful microbes, viruses, and bacteria in the human body’s peristaltic tubes, especially in the digestive system, and large and small intestines.
