Effects of inclined magnetic field and Joule heating in mixed convective peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian fluids

Abstract

This article describes the influence of an inclined magnetic field on the mixed convective peristaltic transport of fluid in an inclined channel. Two types of non-Newtonian fluids are considered. The problem formulation is presented for the Eyring-Prandtl and Sutterby fluids. Viscous dissipation and Joule heating in the heat transfer process are retained. The presence of a heat source in the energy equation is ensured. The resulting problems are solved by the perturbation method. The plots for different parameters of interest are given and discussed. Numerical values of a heat transfer rate are given and analyzed.
