Analysis of Joule Heating and Chemical Reaction Effects in Electroosmosis Peristaltic Transport of Couple-Stress, Micropolar and Nanofluids

Abstract

Nanofluids have analysis of wide applications of energy technologies in recent times as the thermal amplification of several manufacturing industries. A mathematical model is developed to stimulate electrokinetic transfer through peristaltic pumping of couple-stress micropolar nanofluids in a microchannel. The effects of Joule heating and chemical reaction have been considered. The remarkable properties of nanofluid are demonstrated by thermophoresis and Brownian motion characteristics. Thermophoresis has relevance in mass transport processes in many higher temperature gradient operating systems. The highly non-linear partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarities transformations. The graphical estimates are presented for the axial velocity, spin velocity, temperature of nano fluid, concentration and pumping characteristics. The outcomes of this study reveal the activation of Joule heating and chemical reaction effects in electroosmosis peristaltic transport of couple-stress, micropolar and nanofluids. This model is applicable to the study of chemical fraternization/separation procedures and bio microfluidics devices for the resolution of diagnosis.
