Peristaltic propulsion of Jeffrey nanofluid with heat and electromagnetic effects: application to biomedicine

This study investigates the peristaltic transport of Jeffrey nanofluid in a physiological vessel, addressing the significant issue of optimizing fluid transport in biomedical and industrial applications, such as targeted drug delivery, thermal management devices, and biosensor technologies. Approximate analytical solutions were derived using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations to simplify the complex system and provide clear insights into fluid dynamics. The study incorporates an applied magnetic field, viscous dissipation, heat sources, electroosmosis, and thermal radiation. Significant outcomes include higher temperatures in blood-graphene nanofluid compared to blood-platinum nanofluid, reduced nanofluid velocity with increased magnetic field strength, higher irreversibility generated by blade-shaped nanoparticles, and reduced bolus size with increasing Jeffrey fluid parameter. These findings highlight the complex interactions between various physical parameters and suggest optimization strategies for specific applications. The study's goal is to provide a foundation for future research and practical implementations in relevant technologies.
