Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Mechanical Mechanics Physical Sciences Science & Technology Technology Thermodynamics
This study concentrates on the heat transfer characteristics and endoscope effects for peristaltic flow of a third order fluid. Two models of variable viscosity are chosen. Both perturbation and numerical solutions are obtained in each case. A comparative study is also made between the two solutions. The importance of pertinent flow parameters entering into the flow modeling is discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
