Effect of Hall and ion-slip on the peristaltic transport of nanofluid: A biomedical application

The peristaltic flow of viscous nanofluid in a channel with compliant walls is examined. The flow analysis is presented in the presence of Hall and ion-slip effects. The resulting equations through long wavelength and low Reynolds number approaches are solved. Stream function is obtained in closed form. Attention has been given to the influence of Brownian motion, thermophoresis and Hall and ion slip parameters on the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The results show an affective increase in the temperature and nanoparticles concentration with the increase in the strength of Brownian motion effects. Similar results are observed for Hall and ion slip parameters. Further heat transfer coefficient is an increasing function of Hall and ion-slip parameters. Also decrease in the size of trapped bolus is shown for Hall and ion-slip parameters.
