Numerical study of heat transfer and Hall current impact on peristaltic propulsion of particle-fluid suspension with compliant wall properties

Abstract

In this paper, the effects of heat transfer and Hall current on the sinusoidal motion of solid particles through a planar channel has been discussed. The walls of the channel are considered as compliant under the effects of magnetohydrodynamics. The mathematical formulation has been performed using energy equation, momentum equation, and Ohm’s law. The modeled equations are further modified by taking the assumption of a zero Reynolds number and long wavelength. Numerical shooting technique has been employed to solve the nonlinear differential equations. The impact of all the emerging parameters such as wall rigidity, wall tension, mass characterization, Hall parameter, Hartmann number, Weissenberg number, particle volume fraction, Prandtl number, and Eckert number, respectively. Particularly, we discussed their effects on velocity and temperature profile.
