Abstract

The principal emphasis of this article relates the simultaneous effects of shear thinning and shear thickening in mixed convective peristaltic flow of Sisko fluid. The channel boundaries are considered curved in shape with compliant properties. The severity of gravitational effects are retained in the flow along with viscous heating and thermal radiation. In addition homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions effects are also examined. Thus mathematical description of above quantities results in nonlinear ODEs. The simplified system is then addressed numerically. The results signify the pronounced behavior of velocity and temperature corresponding to shear thinning. Concentration bears opposite response for homogeneous and heterogeneous parameters.
