ABSTRACT: In this work, the peristaltic motion of a nano non-Newtonian fluid which
obeys Carreau model through a porous medium inside an asymmetric channel is
investigated. The hall current effects with Joule heating and viscous
dissipation are considered. The problem is modulated mathematically by a set of
nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the conservation of
mass, momentum, energy and concentration of nanoparticles. The non-dimensional
form of these equations is simplified under the assumption of long wavelength
and low Reynolds number, and then resulting equations of coupled nonlinear
differential equations are tackled numerically with appropriate boundary
conditions. Graphical results are presented for dimensionless velocity, temperature,
concentration and pressure gradient in order to illustrate the variations of
various parameters of this problem on these obtained solutions.
