Abstract
In this article Eyring-Powell peristaltic fluid flow with heat and mass transfer analysis have been investigated. New fluid model have been presented in peristaltic literature. The governing equations for proposed Eyring-Powell fluid model are derived in cylindrical coordinates both in fixed and moving frame of reference. Complex system of equations have been simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. The momentum and heat/mass transfer balance equations are solved analytically and numerically by employing perturbation method and shooting technique. Graphical results have been discussed for pressure rise, frictional forces, temperature and concentration profile. Comparison of perturbation and numerical solutions have been presented through table and figures. Five different waves forms have been considered for analysis. Trapping phenomena have been presented for different wave forms. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
