A theoretical study of Prandtl nanofluid in a rectangular duct through peristaltic transport

In the current study, peristaltic transport of Prandtl nanofluid is investigated in a uniform rectangular duct. Interaction of peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian fluid model with nano particles is investigated under the long wave length and low Reynolds number approximations. The governing equations are solved by homotopy perturbation method to get the convergent series solution. Effects of all emerging physical parameters are demonstrated with the help of graphs for temperature distribution, nano particles concentration, pressure rise and pressure gradient. Trapping scheme is also described through streamlines.
