Peristaltic pumping of convective nanofluid with magnetic field and thermal radiation in a porous channel

Abstract

Nanofluids have captured the attention of scientists due to their superior thermophysical properties compared to ordinary liquids. Consequently, nanofluids serve as suitable cooling agents applicable to systems requiring swift response to thermal changes, such as vehicle engines. The primary objective of this article is to delve into recent advancements in peristaltic pumping of nanofluids for engineering processes, particularly focusing on porous asymmetric channels. The article comprehensively discusses the influence of magnetic and incorporating temperature-dependent viscosity. Furthermore, the energy equation addresses thermal radiation and Joule heating effects, while considering velocity slip and convective boundary constraints. The nanomaterials play vital role in enhancing heat transfer characteristics, thereby offering control over the system's temperature. The temperature demonstrates a decreasing trend with an increase in the thermal radiation process.
