Slip Effects on Peristaltic Flow of Magnetohydrodynamics Second Grade Fluid Through a Flexible Channel With Heat/Mass Transfer

Abstract

In the present framework, a model is constituted to explore the peristalsis of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) viscoelastic (second grade) fluid with wall properties. The study is beneficial in understanding blood flow dynamics through microchannels. The mechanisms of heat and mass transfer are also modeled in the existence of viscous dissipation and Soret effects. The conducting second grade fluid is permeated by a vertical magnetic field. Perturbation technique is opted to present series solutions by assuming that the wavelength of the sinusoidal wave is small in comparison to the half-width of the channel. The solution profiles are computed and elucidated for a certain range of embedded parameters. Moreover, plots of heat transfer coefficient against the axial coordinate are also portrayed and deliberated. The main outcome of the current research is that both viscoelasticity and slip effect considerably alter the flow fields. Moreover, an increasing trend in solute concentration is anticipated for increasing the Soret effect strength.
