Abstract
In this article, we discuss the entropy generation on the asymmetric peristaltic propulsion of non-Newtonian fluid with convective boundary conditions. The Williamson fluid model is considered for the analysis of flow properties. The current fluid model has the ability to reveal Newtonian and non-Newtonian behavior. The present model is formulated via momentum, entropy, and energy equations, under the approximation of small Reynolds number and long wavelength of the peristaltic wave. A regular perturbation scheme is employed to obtain the series solutions up to third-order approximation. All the leading parameters are discussed with the help of graphs for entropy and temperature profiles. The irreversibility process is also discussed with the help of Bejan number. Streamlines are plotted to examine the trapping phenomena. Results obtained provide an excellent benchmark for further study on the entropy production with mass transfer and peristaltic pumping mechanism.
