Impact of velocity slip and joule heating on MHD peristaltic flow through a porous medium with chemical reaction

Abstract

The present study investigates the effect of joule heating and velocity slip on MHD peristaltic flow in a porous medium with chemical reaction. The relevant equations on the fluid flow have been developed. Analytic solution is carried out under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number approximations. Exact solution is evaluated for the stream function, which is used to find the velocity of the fluid flow, temperature, concentration. Numerical computations have been performed for the influence of various emerging parameters on the flow characteristics velocity, temperature, concentration are shown and discussed with the help of graphs. Also, the expressions for skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number at the channel wall are obtained and analyzed. It is found that a generative chemical reaction is greater than the destructive chemical reaction on the concentration. The size of the trapping bolus increases with increasing velocity slip parameter β .
