Ferromagnetic effects for peristaltic flow of Cu–water nanofluid for different shapes of nanosize particles

Abstract

In this study, tube flow of Cu–water nanofluid is considered with effect of different shaped nanoparticles. Hamilton–Crosser model is used for the effective thermal conductivity of the nanofluids. In addition, heat transfer through the tube is also studied for this problem. Exact solutions are obtained for governing modified equations with long wavelength and low Reynold number approximation case, and are discussed graphically.
