Engineering Applications of Peristaltic Fluid Flow with Hall Current, Thermal Deposition and Convective Conditions

Abstract

This article addresses the peristaltic flow in a compliant wall channel. Analysis has been carried out in the presence of a Hall current and chemical reaction. Convective conditions in terms of both heat and mass transfer are employed. Mathematical modeling is developed for an incompressible Carreau fluid. Thermal deposition effect and convection at the channel walls are considered. Series solutions are obtained for small Weissenberg number We. Solution expressions of velocity, temperature, concentration and stream function are obtained. These physical quantities are displayed and analyzed. Heat transfer coefficient and trapping are explored in detail.
