Effect of boundary slips and magnetohydrodynamics on peristaltic mechanism of Jeffrey nanofluid along with microorganisms through a porous medium.

ABSTRACT

The development on entropy generation in fluid flows has applications in many medical equipment such as cryogenic devices and therapeutic heat apparatus. This study looks at how porous medium, multi-slips, and entropy formation affect the pumping of Jeffrey nanofluid flow through an asymmetric channel containing motile microorganims. A lubrication theory is used to neglect the fluctuation effects in the flow. Numerical simulations are utilized to generate data for specific physical features of the problem utilizing the Shooting approach on Mathematica. Following a thorough research, it is appropriate to conclude that the porous medium's permeability reduces flow speed along the walls while increases at the center of the flow region. Graphical representation of the results further reveals that entropy production can be decreased by including high thermal slip and low viscous slip elements. It is also worth noting that the Brinkman number reduces the thermal distribution in the flow while it helps in increasing the flow speed.
