Effects of the consistency variation on the peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid fluid through a tube have been investigated by taking into account the existence of a peripheral layer. It is shown that the flow rate flux, for zero pressure drop, increases as the amplitude of the peristaltic wave increases but it decreases due to the pseudoplastic nature of the fluid. It is also noted that, for zero pressure drop, the flux does not depend on the consistency of peripheral layer while the friction decreases as this consistency decreases. However, for nonzero pressure drop, the flux increases and the friction force decreases as the consistency of peripheral layer fluid decreases.

AbstractIn this paper, an analytical method for deriving the relationships between the pressure drop and the volumetric flow rate in laminar flow regimes of Newtonian and power-law fluids through symmetrically corrugated capillary fissures and tubes is presented. This method, which is general with regard to fluid and capillary shape, can also be used as a foundation for different fluids, fissures and tubes. It can also be a good base for numerical integration when analytical expressions are hard to obtain due to mathematical complexities. Five converging-diverging or diverging-converging geometrics, viz. wedge and cone, parabolic, hyperbolic, hyperbolic cosine and cosine curve, are used as examples to illustrate the application of this method. For the wedge and cone geometry the present results for the power-law fluid were compared with the results obtained by another method; this comparison indicates a good compatibility between both the results.
