This paper analyzes the peristaltic flow of an incompressible micropolar nanofluid in a tapered asymmetric channel in the presence of thermal radiation and heat sources parameters. The rotation of the nanoparticles is incorporated in the flow model. The equations governing the nanofluid flow are modeled and exact solutions are managed under long wavelength and flow Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. Explicit expressions of axial velocity, stream function, microrotation, nanoparticle temperature, and concentration have been derived. The phenomena of shear stress and trapping have also been discussed. Finally, the influences of various parameters of interest on flow variables have been discussed numerically and explained graphically. Besides, the results obtained in this paper will be helpful to those who are working on the development of various realms like fluid mechanics, the rotation, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, coupling number, micropolar parameter, and the nondimensional geometry parameters.

AbstractThis paper presents the analysis of transfer of heat and mass characteristics in boundary layer flow of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell nanofluid with thermal radiation effects confined by exponentially shrinking geometry. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis are incorporated using Buongiorno model. The partial differential equations of the governing model are converted in non-dimensional track which are numerically inspected with proper appliances of Runge–Kutta fourth order scheme.The significant effects of heat and mass fluxes on the temperature and nanoparticles volume fractions are investigated. By the increases in Lewis number between $$1.0$$ 1.0 to $$2.0$$ 2.0 , the decrease in nanoparticle volume fraction and temperature is noted. With the change in the Prandtl constant that varies between $$0.7$$ 0.7 to $$1.5$$ 1.5 , the nanoparticles volume fraction and temperature are dwindled. Nanoparticles volume fraction and temperature distribution increase is noted with applications of radiation constant. With consequent variation of thermophoresis parameter between $$0.1$$ 0.1 to $$0.8$$ 0.8 , nanoparticles volume fraction and temperature distribution increases. It is also noted that the increase in thermophoresis parameter and Brownian parameter from $$0.1$$ 0.1 to $$0.8$$ 0.8 , nanoparticles volume fraction decreases while temperature distribution increases.

This article elucidates the magnetohydrodynamic 3D Maxwell nanofluid flow with heat absorption/generation effects. The impact of the nonlinear thermal radiation with a chemical reaction is also an added feature of the presented model. The phenomenon of flow is supported by thermal and concentration stratified boundary conditions. The boundary layer set of non-linear PDEs (partial differential equation) are converted into ODEs (ordinary differential equation) with high nonlinearity via suitable transformations. The homotopy analysis technique is engaged to regulate the mathematical analysis. The obtained results for concentration, temperature and velocity profiles are analyzed graphically for various admissible parameters. A comparative statement with an already published article in limiting case is also added to corroborate our presented model. An excellent harmony in this regard is obtained. The impact of the Nusselt number for distinct parameters is also explored and discussed. It is found that the impacts of Brownian motion on the concentration and temperature distributions are opposite. It is also comprehended that the thermally stratified parameter decreases the fluid temperature.
