Simultaneous Effects of Dissipative Heating and Partial Slip on Peristaltic Transport of Sisko Fluid in Asymmetric Channel

This paper looks at the dissipative heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of a Sisko fluid in an asymmetric channel. Flow exhibits slip at the channel walls maintained at nonuniform temperatures. Long wavelength approximation is utilized and perturbation solutions are obtained about Sisko fluid parameter. Closed form solutions for the stream function, axial pressure gradient, axial velocity, temperature and the heat transfer coefficient are presented. Influences of various interesting parameters are presented in graphical and tabular forms. Pumping and trapping phenomena are discussed for increasing velocity slip parameter. A comparative study on temperature and heat transfer coefficient for viscous, shear thinning and shear thickening fluids has been presented. Comparisons for viscous fluid are found in good agreement.
