Abstract

The thermal peristaltic transport of hybrid nanofluid with applications of electro-osmosis phenomenon in a complex wavy channel with inspired theoretical and mathematical formulation has been presented. Different zeta potentials at both walls of the channel are considered. The characterization of the base material is reported by using human blood. The analysis is presented with application of the entropy generation phenomenon. The variable fluid properties and Joule heating are also considered for thermal development in a complex wavy tract. This numerical study has inspired a great deal of attention for both theoretical and mathematical features. The current theoretical study is based on three biological approximations: the first is the creeping transport phenomena, the second is the long wavelength phenomena and third is the Debye–Huckel linearization. The described biological approximations transform has been observed by the dimensionless system which is attained from the governing model. A finite difference approximation which is commonly reported as the Keller box scheme is utilized to solve the complex governing equations. Two-dimensional plots are reported to describe the rheological features, velocity field, thermal profile, pressure distribution, entropy generation and Bejan number.
