Heat and Mass Transport of Casson Nanofluid in A Peristaltic Curved Channel

Abstract

This study focuses on theoretical inquiry into transition of heat and mass of flowing Casson Nanofluid in a curved channel, in two dimensions, through peristalsis. The flow is assumed to be characterised by low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. The coupled governing non-dimensional equations of momentum, heat and mass transfer which are solved using BVP. Various parameters related with the flow are applied to study its effect on velocity, temperature and also nanofluid concentration. Also, the consequences of thermophoretic diffusion of nanoparticles and Brownian motion are discussed. The Casson parameter's effect on velocity profile is discussed.
