Effect of Viscous Dissipation and Thermal Radiation on Thermal Properties of MHD Nanofluid in a Curved Channel

The effects of radiation and magnetohydrodynamics on the peristaltic flow of a nanofluid through a porous media in a two-dimensional circular asymmetric channel have been theoretically analysed in terms of viscous dissipation. Under the assumption of a radially uniform magnetic field, the nanofluid is electrically conducting. The radiation response, thermophoresis, and Brownian motion are all taken into consideration by the transport equation. The assumptions of a long wavelength and a low Reynolds number have further simplified the problem. The impact of many parameters on the flow characteristics has been examined through graphical representations using MATLAB bvp4c. Further, impact of Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are studied and its effects are displayed through graphs. Also impact of Schmidt and Soret numbers are examined.
