Effects of Magnetic Field on Heat Transfer in Peristaltic Flow of Micropolar Fluid in an Asymmetric Channel

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the effects of magnetic field on heat transfer in peristaltic flow of micropolar fluid in an asymmetric channel. The expressions for velocity micro-rotation velocity volume flow rate and temperature distribution are obtained. The effect of different values of magnetic parameter (M1) amplitude of wave (φ1) and microrotational parameter (n3) are discussed through graphs. These results may be useful for diagonostic purpose
