| Summary: | Background: Due to the immense use of biological materials in the medicine industry, its mathematical modelling has gained incredible attention from scientists and researchers. To understand the flows of biological fluids due to contraction and relaxation in various biological and industrial areas, the knowledge of peristaltic mechanism is very important. In addition, due to nanoparticles immense industrial and engineering (i.e., nuclear, chemical, mechanical and medical) processes likely during heat exchange in heat exchangers, in boiling and cooling of devices, micro-electromechanical devices, in cooling of automobile engine, in arrays of laser diode, in various medicines and surgeries performed through laser technology attain much attention by the researchers. Keeping in mind all the above stated discussion the prime aim here is to examine the biological materials flow formulation in the presence of nano particles because of their noticeable involvement in various biomechanics fields. For example, in gastrointestinal tract the chyme motion and significantly in various surgeries to overcome blood flow via handling the magnetic field intensity. Methodology: The main purpose here is to analyse the peristaltic mechanism of Al2O3-H2O-C2H6O2 nano fluid model through asymmetrical movement of asymmetric channel waves under the consideration of magnetohydrodynamic, porous media, Joule heating, energy dissipation, Brownian and thermophoretic motions and chemical reaction. To simplify the modelled system of equations, non-dimensionless variables, approximations of low Reynolds number and large wave length are employed. Then the exact solution of simplified momentum equation is examined, where the energy and concentration equations are solved numerically using shooting and RK-Felburgh algorithms with step-size is taken 0.1 because of non-linearity and coupling. Using the obtained solution flow quantities are plotted against the parameters of interest. Finally, the discussion section provides a detailed illustration of the physical behavior of flow quantities. Significant Findings: The physical discussion section described that decline in velocity and enhancement in temperature versus a larger nano particle volume fraction parameter, it happens because when nano particles are submerged into ordinary liquids, which denser the material appropriately and thus velocity is declined and the temperature is enhanced because of high resistance in the flow field. Due to porosity effects velocity becomes lower at the centre of the channel. Brownian and thermophoretic motions enhance the fluid temperature due to larger thermal conduction in the flow field because of these two factors. Accordingly, the Brownian and thermophoretic motions have an opposite effect on concentration. The finding is significant due to its broad implications for enhanced thermal management and fluid transport systems. Comprehending these phenomena enhances the efficacy of nanofluid-based applications, since fluid dynamics and heat transport are heavily influenced by porosity, while Joule heating may substantially impact temperature control in a reactive flow. This may lead to improved system performance, increased energy efficiency, and the advancement of smart materials and devices in technological applications. |
