MHD peristaltic flow of chemically reactive casson nanofluid in a nonuniform porous inclined flexible channel with cross-diffusion effects

This model is designed to provide clarity on how blood travels through tiny veins in physiological systems with heat and mass transfer characteristics. Further, the purpose of this paper is to examine the Ohmic heating and heat source/sink effects on peristaltic transport of radiative Casson nanofluid in a nonuniform porous inclined channel in the presence of a normal/inclined magnetic field. We also considered the sway of chemical reaction, Soret and Dufour effects. The momentum, temperature and mass equations for Casson fluid model are obtained with the utilization of the lubrication approach. The exact solutions have been acquired for stream function and axial velocity. Further, the temperature and concentration equations are solved numerically by using the R-K based shooting method. We also tabulated the Nusselt and Sherwood numbers for various relevant parameters. Finally, the impacts of all major factors on the physical properties of the flow for both normal and inclined magnetic fields are explored and discussed in depth using graphs. The Casson fluid velocity is more for an inclined magnetic field than a normal magnetic field. The nonuniform parameter of the channel boosts the trapped fluid bolus size. The heat source/sink parameter improves the temperature field but the opposite trend is observed in the field of concentration. Moreover, the findings are validated with the existing works for some special circumstances.
