Analysis is performed using the two-phase model of the nanofluid. Viscous dissipation and heat generation/absorption effects are also taken into account. Problem is formulated using the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach. Numerical solutions for the pressure rise per wavelength, pressure gradient, axial velocity, temperature and heat transfer rate at the boundaxy are obtained and studied through graphs. Results show that the area of peristaltic pumping decreases with an increase in the nanoparticles volume fraction. Increase in the velocity slip parameter shows an increase of the pressure gradient in the occluded part of the channel. Further, addition of copper nanoparticles reduces both the axial velocity and temperature of the base fluid. Temperature of the nanofluid also decreases sufficiently for an increase in the value of Blot number.展开更多
