Abstract

Nanofluids have recently been widely used in energy technologies and physiological processes. These fluids have already demonstrated significant interest in the thermal amplification of numerous industrial sectors. Therefore, the present work investigates the mixed convective peristaltic flow of Carreau-Yasuda nanoliquid in presence of slip conditions. Modified Darcy's expression for porous space is utilized. A symmetric channel with compliant wall characteristics is considered. The characteristics of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are included in the nanofluid model being considered. Outcomes of first-order chemical reactions and radiation are analyzed. The resulting problem is solved numerically by using the NDSolve technique via Mathematica. Features of pertinent variables against velocity, temperature and concentration are graphically discussed. Finally, heat transfer rate is examined through tabular values. Velocity of the fluid shows opposite behavior for porous medium and velocity slip parameter. Temperature is declines for radiation parameter. Heat transfer rate enhances for larger Brownian motion and thermophoresis variables.
