Numerical evaluation for the peristaltic flow in the proximity of double-diffusive convection of non-Newtonian nanofluid under the MHD

Abstract

This article mainly studies the 2-D propagation of a non-compressible Eyring-Powell nanofluid flow through a stretched wedge under the Magneto-hydrodynamic effect. Equations for temperature, concentration, double-diffusive convection and momentum are taken into consideration. Since solving the dimensionless equations associated with our study is an uphill task, we utilize the MATLAB bvp4c solver to illustrate the graphical performance of different parameters. This manuscript may be significant in the projects in the field of industry and medicine. The manuscript's noteworthy features include the magnetic field, heat source-sink parameter, double diffusivity, and solar radiation process. The main finding is that the local fluid parameter k1 and magnetic field parameter M decelerate the velocity of nanofluid. Because different nanoparticles have different effects on fluids, the fluid's temperature exhibits multiple behaviors, therefore by escalating the Prandtl number initially, it increases and then decelerates due to the presence of nanoparticles. The concentration of fluid declines as the Schmidt number rises. The double diffusivity of Eyring-Powell nanofluid improves with magnification in the fluid's Schmidt number Sc and Prandtl number Pr.
