Peristaltic flow of chemically reactive Ellis fluid through an asymmetric channel: Heat and mass transfer analysis

The importance of the peristaltic phenomena in biological and biomedical engineering has recently sparked a significant interest. In the current study, the peristaltic pattern of Ellis fluid in a channel has been inspected following the propagation of wave train with infinite magnitude. The confined flow regime is assumed due to asymmetric channel. The chemical reaction features are also considered in the modelling. The flow modelling is followed with the small Reynolds number hypothesis while the long wavelength is premised. The influence of various emerging physical parameters in the obtained solutions is observed. The computed result is presented in graphical form and discussed. The streamlines for flow parameters are also presented and discussed under different flow situations. The significant results of the current studies are that, the fluid velocity declined with higher values of Ellis fluid parameters. The pressure gradient improves with the material parameters. The higher fluctuation in power-law index α improves the temperature profile. The concentration reduces with the Soret constant and Schmidt number. The more significant change in power-law index and material perimeter result in a progressive concentration profile.
