EFFECTS OF DISSIPATIVE HEATING AND THERMAL DIFFUSION ON THE PERISTALTIC FLOW OF A POWER-LAW FLUID IN A NONUNIFORM INCLINED TUBE
SINOPSIS
The paper describes the study of the combined effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic flow of a power-law fluid in a nonuniform inclined tube. The effects of dissipative heating and thermal diffusion are taken into account. The governing equations have been linearized by employing the long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximation. Exact solutions for the stream function, axial pressure gradient, axial velocity, temperature, and concentration have been derived. The effects of various interesting parameters are presented graphically. A comparative study on the temperature and concentration for a viscous, shear thinning and shear thickening fluid has been made. Comparisons with published results for limiting cases showed good agreement.
