  • Abstract
    The peristaltic flow of an incompressible viscous-fluid-containing metallic nanoparticles in an irregular conduit is analyzed. The metallic nanoparticles for the peristaltic flow are not explored so far. The governing equations are streamlined using “long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation.” Exact solutions have been evaluated for velocity, pressure gradient, the solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles, and temperature profile. The effects of various flow parameters, i.e., Hartmann number, Eckert number, the solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles amplitude ratio, and Prandtl number are presented graphically.
