Joule heating effect on Peristaltic transport of water-based copper oxide over an asymmetric channel in presence of slip effects

Abstract

This research paper is intended to study the nanoparticles shapes on peristalsis of Casson fluid in a channel flow by considering Joule heating effects. The study of such flows has various relevance applications in biomedical engineering and industries. Slip conditions is maintained at the velocity, temperature and nanoparticle concentration. The problem is modeled in terms of partial differential equations with suitable slip boundary conditions and then computed by using semi analytical technique known as Homotopy Analysis Method with Mathematica software. The influences of nanoparticles shape on velocity, pressure, temperature and nanoparticle concentration distributions are discussed with the help of graphs. Here, increase in Joule heating parameter enhance the fluid temperature and nanoparticle concentration decreases with an increasing Joule heating and also we observed that the different shapes has different thermal conductivity, but the lamina shaped nanoparticles have high thermal conductivity as compared to needle shaped nanoparticles.
