Influence of Slip and Heat and Mass Transfer Effects on Peristaltic motion of Power-law fluid Prone to the Tube

Abstract

Abstract Present study deals with the study of peristaltic motion of a power-law fluid with nanoparticles in a tube with permeable walls. Heat and mass transfer effects and slip effect are studied in this investigation. Axial velocity, pressure gradient and frictional force are expressed analytically and investigated various parameter effects on these flow variables. The present model revealed that, heat transfer coefficient and mass transfer coefficients increases in the region [-1, 0] and decreases in the region [0, 1] with the increase of thermophoresis parameter and shows an opposite behavior with the increase of Brownian motion parameter. Pressure drop increases with the increase of slip parameter. Frictional force decreases with the increase of slip parameter and converges to 1.
