Abstract: | In this paper Williamson fluid is taken into account to study its peristaltic flow with heat effects. The study is carried out in a wave frame of reference for symmetric channel. Analysis of heat transfer is accomplished by accounting the effects of non-constant thermal conductivity and viscosity and viscous dissipation. Modeling of fundamental equations is followed by the construction of closed form solutions for pressure gradient, stream function and temperature while assuming Reynold's number to be very low and wavelength to be very long. Double perturbation technique is employed, considering Weissenberg number and variable fluid property parameter to be very small. The effects of emerging parameters on pumping, trapping, axial pressure gradient, heat transfer coefficient, pressure rise, velocity profile and temperature are analyzed through the graphical representation. A direct relation is observed between temperature and thermal conductivity whereas the indirect proportionality with viscosity. The heat transfer coefficient is lower for a fluid with variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity as compared to the fluid with constant thermal conductivity and constant viscosity. |
