Analysis is performed for the simultaneous effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic transport of an electrically conducting couple-stress fluid in a compliant walls channel. The study may be useful in understanding the physiological flow of blood through micro-circulatory system in the presence of particle-size effect. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number aspects are taken into consideration. Exact solutions for stream function, temperature and concentration are derived. Impact of pertinent parameters like the couple-stress fluid parameter (γ), Hartman number (M), amplitude ratio (ϵ), elastic parameters (E1, E2, E3, E4, E5), Brinkman number (Br) and Schmidt number (Sc). It is observed that velocity and temperature distributions are greater for couple stress fluid when compared with the Newtonian fluid.

Abstract This study is an investigation of fully-developed laminar flow in a two-layer vertical channel; one part filled with couple stress nanofluid and the other part with clear couple stress fluid. The flow is examined for combined heat and mass transfer using uniform wall temperature and concentration boundary conditions. Optimal homotopy analysis method (OHAM) is used to solve the nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) governing the flow in each region. This method is based on the homotopy analysis method (HAM)which is an effective method to analytically approximate the solution of highly nonlinear problems. The influence of pertinent parameters is observed on velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions, specifically, the effect of Brownian parameter on couple stress fluid is mentioned.

The presented article addresses the electro-osmotic peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid bounded in an inclined asymmetric micro-channel. The viscous dissipation, Joule heating and chemical reaction effects are employed simultaneously in the flow analysis. Heat and mass transfer have been studied under large wavelength and small Reynolds number. The resulting nonlinear systems are solved numerically. The influence of various dominant physical parameters is discussed for velocity, temperature distribution, concentration distribution and the pumping characteristics. Electro kinetic flow of fluids by micro-pumping through micro channels and micro peristaltic transport has accelerated considerable concern in accelerated medical technology and several areas of biomedical engineering. Deeper clarification of the fluid dynamics of such flow requires the continuous need for more delicate mathematical models and numerical simulations, in parallel with laboratory investigations.
