Abstract
The considered analysis comprises the effects of nanoparticles on the characteristics of the peristaltic flow through a homogeneous porous medium under the impact of magnetic field and slip effects by considering an appropriate mathematical model. Analysis is introduced by considering blood as the base fluid and metals such as copper and silver as the nanoparticles in the existence of the thermal and velocity slip effects. Lubrication approach is used to simplify the problem. Impact of related parameters on temperature, pressure rise, pressure gradient, velocity and streamlines are interpreted graphically. Comparison of the pure blood, silver blood and copper blood is presented and analyzed. It is also revealed that inclusion of nanoparticles scales down the velocity and temperature of fluid. Another valuable finding of the present investigation is that the silver nanoparticles enhance the pressure gradient when compared with the copper nanoparticles. Therefore, the current investigation is capable to achieve some essential and interesting characteristics in few biomedical applications.
