Effect of heat transfer on the peristaltic transport of MHD with couple-stress fluid through a porous medium with slip effect

Abstract

This  paper concern with the Peristaltic transport of MHD Newtonian fluid in  asymmetric two dimensional channel with couple –stress through  a porous  medium under  the influence of heat  transfer analysis. For the formulation of the problem long wave length and low Reynold number  assumption is taken into account.  An  exact solution is presented for velocity field and the temperature field through solving a    non-homogenies partial differential equation that described the flow field. Effects of different physical parameters, reflecting couple-stress parameter, permeability parameter, slip parameter, Hartman  number, constant heat radiation factor and Grashof number, as well as amplitude ration on pumping characteristics and frictional force, stream lines pattern and trapping of peristaltic flow pattern studied with particular emphasis. This study are discussed through graphs.
