Abstract

This paper deals with the e ect of nanofluid and inclined magnetic field on peristaltic transport of a fourth grade uid model. Mathematical modelling of two dimensional fourth grade uid along with nanofluid model are given for channel. Assumptions of long wave length are employed to simplify the governing equations of momentum, temperature, and nano particle volume fraction. The exact solutions of temperature and nano particle volume fraction are calculated. Analytical solution is carried out to calculate the solution of stream function. Pressure rise and pressure gradient on the channel walls have been computed numerically. The graphical results are discussed to see the e ects of various emerging parameters on di erent wave forms.
