Hypothetical analysis for peristaltic transport of metallic nanoparticles in an inclined annulus with variable viscosity

The main objective of this article is to present a mathematical model for peristaltic transport in an inclined annulus. In this analysis, two-dimensional flow of a viscous nanofluid is observed in an inclined annulus with variable viscosity. Copper as nanoparticle with blood as its base fluid has been considered. The inner tube is unifom or rigid, while the outer tube takes a sinusoidal wave. Governing equations are solved under the well-known assumptions of low Reynolds number and long-wavelength. Exact solutions have been established for both velocity and nanoparticle temperature. The features of the peristaltic motion are explored by plotting graphs and discussed in detail.
