In the present framework, a model is constituted to explore the peristalsis of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) viscoelastic (second grade) fluid with wall properties. The study is beneficial in understanding blood flow dynamics through microchannels. The mechanisms of heat and mass transfer are also modeled in the existence of viscous dissipation and Soret effects. The conducting second grade fluid is permeated by a vertical magnetic field. Perturbation technique is opted to present series solutions by assuming that the wavelength of the sinusoidal wave is small in comparison to the half-width of the channel. The solution profiles are computed and elucidated for a certain range of embedded parameters. Moreover, plots of heat transfer coefficient against the axial coordinate are also portrayed and deliberated. The main outcome of the current research is that both viscoelasticity and slip effect considerably alter the flow fields. Moreover, an increasing trend in solute concentration is anticipated for increasing the Soret effect strength.

AbstractThis investigation analyses a three dimensional flow and mass transfer of a second grade fluid over a porous stretching wall in the presence of suction or injection. The equations governing the flow are attained in terms of partial differential equations. A similarity transformation has been utilized for the transformation of partial differential equations into the ordinary differential equations. The solutions of the nonlinear systems are given by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). A comparative study with the previous results of a viscous fluid has been made. The convergence of the series solution has also been considered explicitly. The influence of admissible parameters on the flows is delineated through graphs and appropriate results are presented. In addition, it is found that instantaneous suction and injection reduce viscous drag on the stretching sheet. It is also shown that suction or injection of a fluid through the surface is an example of mass transfer and it can change the flow field.

The study of mass transfer in the non-Newtonian fluid is essential in understanding the engine lubrication, the cooling system of electronic devices, and the manufacturing process of the chemical industry. Optimal performance of the practical applications requires the appropriate conditions. The unsteady transient free convective flow of second-grade fluid with mass transfer and wall transpiration is concerned in the present communication. The behavior of the second-grade fluid under the influence of injection or suction is discussed. Suitable non-dimensional variables are utilized to transform the governing equations into non-dimensional governing equations. A Maple solver “pdsolve” that is using the centered implicit scheme of a finite difference method is utilized to solve the dimensionless governing equations numerically. The effects of wall injection or suction parameter, second-grade fluid viscoelastic parameter, Schmidt number, and modified Grashof number on the velocity and concentration profiles are graphically displayed and analyzed. The results show that with increasing wall suction, viscoelastic parameter, and Schmidt number, the velocity and concentration profiles decrease. Whereas, the velocity profiles show an opposite tendency in situations of wall injection. The wall suction has increased the skin friction and also the rate of mass diffusion in the second-grade fluid.

In the present paper, we have studied the effects of endoscope and heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of second grade fluid through an inclined tube. The endoscope is a solid circular cylinder which is inserted in a peristaltic tube, and the flow takes place through the gap between endoscope and the peristaltic tube. The endoscope is maintained at a temperature [Formula: see text], while the outer tube has a sinusoidal wave traveling down its wall and is exposed to temperature [Formula: see text]. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The equations governing the flow of second grade fluid are modeled in cylindrical coordinates. Using perturbation method, the solutions are obtained for the stream function, pressure gradient and temperature fields. The pressure difference and frictional force at both the walls are calculated using numerical integration. The graphical results are presented to interpret the effect of various physical parameters of interest. It is found that, velocity increases with an increase in inclination angle and the best pumping rate appear in the vertical tube as compared to the horizontal tube. It is also found that, the heat generation parameter has an increasing effect on the velocity of the fluid.
