Abstract

This attempt is made to look at the influence of homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions on MHD peristaltic flow of Prandtl fluid. The configuration of channel is considered as inclined and asymmetric. Mathematical modelling is developed through consideration of Joule heating, viscous dissipation and thermal radiation. Heat and mass transfer phenomenons are addressed simultaneously. Numerical solutions of problem are attained after employing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The results for velocity, temperature, concentration and heat transfer rate have been emphasized through graphical illustration. Physical interpretation for sundry parameters of interest is carried out in detail. Results indicate that concentration decreases during both homogeneous and heterogenous reactions where thermal radiation lessens fluid temperature and rate of heat transfer.
