摘要
The problem of heat transfer for the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid induced by travelling sinusoidal waves has been analytically investigated for a two-dimensional asymmetrical channel. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The momentum and energy equations have been linearized under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number assumptions and closed form expressions for temperature and coefficient of heat transfer have been derived. The effect of Hartmann number, Eckert number, width of the channel and phase angle on temperature and coefficient of heat transfer are discussed numerically and explained graphically.
