Abstract
This article investigates with the thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects on MHD electro-osmotic Jeffrey
nanofluid peristaltic flow in an asymmetric microchannel. Well established large wavelength and small Reynolds
number approximations are invoked. Numerical solutions have been evaluated for the stream function, nanofluid
velocity, nanofluid temperature and nanoparticle phenomena. The computed results for nanofluid velocity, temperature,
and concentration fields are utilized to determine the skin-friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood
number. The graphical results have been presented and discussed for various involved parameters. The novel
features of nanofluids made them potentially significant in heat and mass transfer mechanism occurring in medical
and industrial processes like microelectronics, pharmaceutical processes, hybrid engines, thermal management
of vehicles, refrigerator, chiller, gas temperature reduction and so forth. These processes bear tendency
to enhance thermal conductivity and the convective heat transfer more efficiently than base fluid. This unique
aspect made nanofluids the topic of interest in recent time via different fluid flow models. The problem at hand
is one such application of nanofluids in peristaltic flow through the asymmetric rotating microchannel.
