Effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic motion of Sutterby fluid in an inclined channel

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the peristaltic mechanism of Sutterby fluid in a symmetric channel with mass and heat transfer.Design/methodology/approachMass and heat transfer are investigated in the assumption of Reynolds number and the long wavelength. The velocity, temperature and concentration terms for small values of Sutterby fluid parameter are achieved.FindingsGraphical results have been introduced for various important parameters. The effects of emerging key parameters are also highlighted.Originality/valueSutterby fluid model is one that represents the high polymer aqueous solutions. It is now strongly believed that any diseased part of the body would be cured better when exposed to magnetic force when compared with a drug. Peristalsis with mass and heat transfer occurs in treatment to destroy the unwanted tissues, hemodialysis and oxygenation process, etc.
