Ohmic heating generates temperature with the help of electrical current and resists the flow of electricity. Also, it generates heat rapidly and uniformly in the liquid matrix. Electrically conducting biofluid flows with Ohmic heating have many biomedical and industrial applications. The purpose of this study is to provide the significance of the effects of Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation on electrically conducting Casson nanofluid flow driven by peristaltic pumping through a vertical porous channel.

In this analysis, the non-Newtonian properties of fluid will be characterized by the Casson fluid model. The long wavelength approach reduces the complexity of the governing system of coupled partial differential equations with non-linear components. Using a regular perturbation approach, the solutions for the flow quantities are established. The fascinating and essential characteristics of flow parameters such as the thermal Grashof number, nanoparticle Grashof number, magnetic parameter, Brinkmann number, permeability parameter, Reynolds number, Casson fluid parameter, thermophoresis parameter and Brownian movement parameter on the convective peristaltic pumping are presented and thoroughly addressed. Furthermore, the phenomenon of trapping is illustrated visually.

The findings indicate that intensifying the permeability and Casson fluid parameters boosts the temperature distribution. It is observed that the velocity profile is elevated by enhancing the thermal Grashof number and perturbation parameter, whereas it reduces as a function of the magnetic parameter and Reynolds number. Moreover, trapped bolus size upsurges for greater values of nanoparticle Grashof number and magnetic parameter.

There are some interesting studies in the literature to explain the nature of the peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian nanofluids under various assumptions. It is observed that there is no study in the literature as investigated in this paper.

The present work explores the influence of Hall and Ohmic heating effects on the convective peristaltic flow of a conducting Jeffrey nanofluid in an inclined porous asymmetric channel with slip. Also, the authors investigated the impact of viscous dissipation, thermal radiation, heat generation/absorption and cross diffusion effects on the flow. Peristaltic flow has many industrial and physiological applications and most of the biofluids show the non-Newtonian fluid behaviour. Further, in a living body, several biofluids flow through different kinds of systems that are not symmetric, horizontal or vertical. The purpose of this paper is to address these issues.

The authors considered the flow of Jeffrey fluid which is generated by a sinusoidal wave propagating on the walls of an inclined asymmetric channel. The flow model is developed from the fixed frame to the wave frame. Finally, yield the nonlinear governing equations by applying the non-dimensional quantities with the assumptions of lengthy wave and negligible Reynolds number. The exact solution has been computed for the velocity and pressure gradient. The solutions for temperature and concentration are obtained by the regular perturbation technique.

Graphical analysis is made for the present results for different values of emerging parameters and explained clearly. It is noticed that the magnetic field enriches the temperature where it drops the fluid velocity. This work describes that the temperature field is decreasing due to the radiation but it is a rising function of temperature slip parameter. The temperature profile declines for growing values of the Hall parameter. The flow velocity diminishes for boosting values of the Darcy parameter. Further, the authors perceived that the concentration field reduces for large values of the chemical reaction parameter.

The authors validated and compared the results with the existing literature. This investigation will help to study some physiological systems, and heat transfer in peristaltic transport plays key role in medical treatments, so we ensure that these results are applicable in medical treatments like cancer therapy, drug delivery, etc.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the behavior of a non-Newtonian nanofluid caused by peristaltic waves along an asymmetric channel. Additionally considered is the production of thermal radiation and activation energy.

The equations of momentum, mass and temperature of Sutterby nanofluids are obtained for long wavelength. By taking into account the velocity, temperature and concentration, the formulation is further finished.

Analyses of the physical variables influencing flow features are represented graphically. The present investigation shows that an enhancement in the temperature ratio parameter results in an increase in both the temperature and concentration. The investigation also shows that the dimensionless reaction rate significantly raises the kinetic energy of the reactant, which permits more particle collisions and as a result, raises the temperature field.

Due to their importance in the treatment of cancer, activation energy and thermal radiation as a route of heat transfer are crucial and exciting phenomena for researchers. So, the cancer cells are killed, and tumors are reduced in size with heat and making hyperthermia therapy a cutting-edge cancer treatment.
