Impact of an inclined magnetic field, heat generation/absorption and radiation on the peristaltic flow of a Micropolar fluid through a porous non-uniform channel with slip velocity

Abstract

Incompressible peristaltic flow of a micro-polar fluid through a permeable non-uniform channel in the vicinity of an inclined magnetic field with heat and mass transfer is investigated in the present study. Effects of heat generation, radiation and spin velocity on the fluid are also studied. Presumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are utilized. Mathematical expressions for axial velocity, micro-rotation speed, pressure gradient, volumetric stream rate, temperature and concentration are described in the physical area. The impact of different applicable physical parameters is dissected hypothetically and figured numerically. The outcomes got are delineated and showed graphically. The outcomes determine that the impact of Magnetic field, coupling number, micropolar parameter, slip parameter, inclination of magnetic field parameter, porosity parameter, heat generation and thermal radiation parameter is extremely protuberant in the phenomena.

A Battery Powered on-Chip Peristaltic Pump for Lab-On-A-Chip Applications

“…A different type of active pump technology, acoustofluidic pumps rely on external equipment such as signal generators and power amplifiers to drive piezo actuators which are coupled to a microfluidic channel to enable fluid pumping [10]. In addition to the external field driven microfluidic pumps, peristaltic microfluidic pumps have also been widely explored as an active means of microfluidic fluidic pumping [18][19][20][21][22][23]. These devices commonly use a pneumatic actuation of arrays of chambers in a microfluidic channel to drive fluid flow.…”
