Influence of Heat and Mass Transfer on the Peristaltic Transport of a Phan-Thien–Tanner Fluid

  • Tasawar Hayat , Saima Noreen EMAIL logo and Muhammad Qasim

In this paper, we discuss the effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic flow in the presence of an induced magnetic field. Constitutive equations of a Phan-Thien-Tanner fluid are utilized in the mathematical description. Mathematical modelling is based upon the laws of mass, linear momentum, energy, and concentration. Relevant equations are simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. A series solution is presented for small Weissenberg number. Variations of emerging parameters embedded in the flow system are discussed.
