Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the peristaltic pumping of a Rabinowitsch fluid in an inclined channel under the effects of heat transfer and flexible compliant walls. The expressions for the velocity, the temperature and the coefficient of the heat transfer are obtained. The influence of emerging parameters on the velocity, the temperature, the coefficient of heat transfer and the trapping phenomenon of the Newtonian, dilatant and pseudoplastic fluid models are also analyzed graphically. We find that the velocity and the temperature fields decrease for shear thickening fluid; but the velocity and temperature fields of the shear thinning, and Newtonian fluids increase with an increase in the angle of inclination. Furthermore, there were more trapping boluses occurring for the Newtonian fluid case as compared to the pseudoplastic and dilatant fluids cases. However, as the angle of inclination increases, the size of trapping bolus decreases.
