Abstract

This paper provides a rudimentary insight into the influence of heat transfer on the transport characteristics of a second-grade dusty fluid flown in a flexible tube with walls subjected to the peristaltic motion. Both dust particles and fluid movements were modeled using the coupled differential equations. The effects of different types of parameters such as Reynolds number, Prandtl number, Grashof number, wave number, wave amplitude ratio, second grade parameter as well as nature of the heat source and sink are studies on the dust particles velocity, fluid velocity, temperature, pressure profiles of the fluid and streamline patterns of the fluid. The derived equations were solved analytically via the standard perturbation method to determine the fluid temperature, streamline pattern and velocity of the dust particles as well as fluid. The values in the increase of pressure and frictional forces were calculated numerically using DSolve of the Mathematica 11 software (https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-11/). In addition, the trapping mechanisms were ascertained by computing the streamlines and various physical parameters. The obtained results were validated with the state-of-the-art literature reports. It was claimed that our systematic approach may constitute a basis for accurately examining the impact of heat transfer on the peristaltic transport of a complex fluid through narrow tubes, useful for diverse medical applications such as the gastric fluid flow through the small intestine during endoscopy. Numerical results are computed and discussed numerically and presented through graphs. The impacts of pertinent parameters on the aforementioned quantities are examined by plotting graphs on the basis of computational results. The results indicate that the effect of parameters is very pronounced. A suitable comparison has been made with the prior results in the literature as a limiting case of the considered problem.

Introduction

Understanding the effects of heat transfer on the transport behavior of a second-grade dusty fluid streaming through a flexible tube with walls subjected to the peristaltic motion remains challenging1 . Generally, the perturbation approach is used to find the solution of such complex transport in various powers of the amplitude ratios2. It was discerned that for two-dimensional (2-D) peristaltic pumping with extremely small Reynolds numbers, the fluid motion can be assumed to be inertia-free and long wavelength in nature3. In addition, the peristaltic transport of different complex fluids in an axial-symmetric tube for certain values of the Reynolds number and wavelengths was studied wherein the asymptotic solutions were obtained concerning the small amplitudes to the mean diameter’s ratios4. This work was carried out following the earlier study on the fluid motion through 2-D channels5. Meanwhile, the long wavelength approximation for 2-D peristaltic pumping enabled in relaxing the assumption regarding the small amplitudes6. An all-inclusive overview on the peristaltic pumping was made by7.

The emergence of Navier Stokes relations for the rheological properties of fluids provided a further impetus to the advancement of the non-Newtonian fluid dynamics research8. The absence of unique constitutive model to describe the overall characteristics of the non-Newtonian fluids enforced the researchers to find out alternative models. To surmount this limitation, numerous classical models were introduced to obtain the nonlinear relationships among shear stresses and strain rates9,10. Generally, majority of the fluids including bio-fluids, synthetic lubricants, paints, oils, petroleum, honey, and so forth were shown to reveal the non-Newtonian traits11. Also, the mechanics of peristaltic pumping of a non-Newtonian fluid for a second-order fluid through an axisymmetric conduit was performed12. Over the years, several studies involving the non-Newtonian fluids have been conducted to determine the feasibility of practical applications in the field of physiology, engineering and industries1319 .

Despite many dedicated efforts the behavior of pure fluids dynamics is far from being understood. Yet again, the natural fluids often contain various impurities and contaminants such as dirt and dust particles together with unknown components. The fluids are said to be dusty when they contain various dispersed solid particles in colloidal suspension, making the dynamics of such fluids very complex and yet worthy to investigate20. Examples of these dusty fluids include human urine with stones or glucose particles suspension, unrefined petroleum, crude oils and diverse foods containing pulpy granules. In the early period21, considered human blood as a binary system and analyzed its transport properties. Later22, examined the peristaltic transport behaviors of various dusty fluids under the approximation of long wavelength and small Reynolds numbers. Meanwhile23, investigated the transport properties of a solid fluid mix streaming through an axially-symmetric channel. Furthermore, the sinusoidal wave motion-induced 2-D flow of a dusty fluid moving through a tube with infinite curvy wall was examined for Reynolds numbers above one24. The peristaltic transport of a dusty fluid was demonstrated when streamed through a porous medium25. Recently26, evaluated the effects of the wall topologies of the channels on the transport attributes of tiny particles suspended in a dusty fluid. The impact of the wall topologies on the transport features of a Walters B fluid containing fine particulates flowing through a uniform channel was inspected27. The peristaltic transport characteristics of a dusty fluid streaming through a tube was demonstrated by28.

It is well established that the heat transfer is significant for sundry applications especially in the field of geophysical sciences and engineering like underground energy transport in the geothermal reservoirs, thermal insulation, porous solids’ drying, improvement in the recovery of fossil fuels and oils, catalytic reactors using packed-bed, and nuclear reactor’s cooling29. The influence of heat transfer on the peristaltic motion of a dusty fluid streaming through a channel was assessed30. In addition31, examined the effects of velocity slip on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic transport of fluid through a porous media in the presence of both heat and mass transfer. Meanwhile32, determined the influence of rotating medium with compliant walls on the MHD fluid’s peristaltic transport. The dependence of temperatures on the peristaltic transport characteristics of a MHD fluid’s flowing through an asymmetric channel was analyzed33. The impact of compliant walls in the presence slip at the boundaries on the peristaltic transport behaviors of a MHD fluid was analytically formulated34. The influence of velocity slip on the MHD peristaltic transport of a Casson fluid and transfer of heat through an asymmetric channel cantaining a porous media was assessed35. Over a horizontal, flat plate with a constant heat flux, natural convection of power-law fluids was investigated36. Many authors have recently investigated the MHD convection for diffrent fluids under effect of heat transfer in the articles3739 and40,41. The peristaltic transport features of a Johnson Segalman fluid flowing through an asymmetric curved channel accompanied by mass and heat transfer were analyzed42. A simulating sloshing and evaporation in a cryogenics fuel tank was studied using a new computational fluid dynamics algorithm43. A multinode-CFD simulation of a cylindrical pressurized cryogenic storage tank was examined by44. The study of cooling high temperature traveling wave tube collectors under steady state conditions with TWT collectors thermal stress and deformation was presented by45. Heat sink optimization and thermal performance enhancement in three geometry categories on energy storage system was discussed46.

Considering the immense fundamental and applied significance involving the impact of heat transfer on the transport behaviors of various dusty fluids streaming through a flexible tube with varying wall’s topologies subjected to the peristaltic motion, this paper considers a second-grade dusty fluid flowing in a flexible tube whose walls are induced by the peristaltic movement to understand the transport process in the presence of heat transfer. The influence of heat transfer on the peristaltic transport properties of such fluid was determined. The conventional perturbation theory was used to derive the analytical solution of the modeled coupled differential equations. The obtained results are validated with the solutions obtained by DSolve a built – in function in Commerical software Mathematica 11 (https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-11/). Therefore, the analytical solution has been obtained. The peristaltic transport behavior of the studied dusty fluid was evaluated in terms of the velocity of the dust particles and fluid, fluid temperature, friction force, pressure rise and streamline pattern. Furthermore, to ascertain the trapping process, different physical parameters and streamlines were computed and discussed by the graphical results. The obtained results were analyzed, discussed, and validated by comparing the outcomes of literature review12 and20. The peristaltic transport mechanism of the proposed dusty fluid was understood.

Analytical model

Consider an axial-symmetric 2-D streaming of a second-grade fluid through a tube enclosing tiny solid particles of even sizes with number density (N). The densities of the solid particles are constant. It is further assumed that long wavelength peristaltic waves can propagate along the tube walls. Let us assume the cylindrical coordinate system R¯(Z¯,t¯) with R¯ and Z¯ are along the radial and axial direction, respectively. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the cylindrical wall described by:

h¯(Z¯,t¯)=a+bsin2πλ(Z¯-ct¯) 1

where a, c, t¯, b and λ are the radius of the tube, speed of propagating wave, time, wave amplitude and wavelength, respectively.

The tube geometry.

Following47, the stress tensor (constitutive relation) of the second-grade fluid can be written as:

S¯=-P¯I+τ, 2
τ¯=μA1¯+α1A2¯+α2(A1¯)2. 3

where τ¯, μ, α1 and α2; are the extra stress tensor, coefficient of viscosity and material constants. The kinematic tensors A1¯ and A2¯ can be written as12:

A1¯=(gradV¯)+(gradV¯)t, 4
A2¯=dA1¯dt¯+A1¯(gradV¯)+(gradV¯)tA1¯ 5

where grad and V¯=(U¯,0,W¯) are the gradient operator and velocity, respectively.

The equation of motion in the fixed frame (R¯,Z¯) takes the form28:

ρ[U¯U¯R¯+W¯U¯Z¯]=-P¯R¯+1R¯Z¯R¯τ¯rr+Z¯τ¯rz-τ¯θθR¯+KN(u¯s-u¯), 6
ρ[U¯W¯R¯+W¯W¯Z¯]=-P¯Z¯+1R¯R¯R¯τ¯rz+Z¯τ¯zz+KN(W¯s-W¯)-ρgα(T¯-T¯0). 7

The equation of motion for the solid particles28 and heat transfer are given by15:

U¯s+U¯sR¯+W¯sU¯sZ¯=Km(U¯-U¯s) 8
U¯s+W¯sR¯+W¯sW¯sZ¯=Km(W¯-W¯s) 9
ρcp[U¯T¯R¯+W¯T¯Z¯]=κ[2T¯R¯2+1R¯T¯R¯+2T¯Z¯2]+Q0 10

where ρ, U¯ and W¯; U¯s and W¯s are the density, velocity components along the corresponding radial and axial direction of the fluid as well as dust particles motion, respectively; P¯, K, m, N, g, α, T, cp, and κ are the pressure, coefficient of resistance, mass, and number density (constant) of the solid dust particles; gravitational acceleration due to gravity, thermal expansion coefficient, temperature, specific heat at constant pressure, and thermal conductivity, respectively. The transformation corresponding to the moving and fixed reference frames (r¯,z¯) and (R¯,Z¯) can be written as:

z¯=Z¯-ct¯,r¯=R¯,w¯=W¯-c,u¯=U¯,w¯s=W¯s-c,u¯s=U¯s,p¯=P¯,T=T¯ 11

The flow Eqs. (6)–(10) are given by:

u¯u¯r¯+(w¯+c)u¯z¯=-p¯r¯+1r¯r¯(r¯τ¯rr)+z¯(r¯τ¯rz)-τ¯θθr¯+KN(u¯s-u¯) 12
u¯w¯r¯+(w¯+c)w¯z¯=-p¯z¯+1r¯r¯(r¯τ¯rz)+z¯τ¯zz+KN(w¯s-w¯)+ρgα(T¯-T¯0) 13
u¯su¯sr¯+(w¯s+c)u¯sz¯=Km(u¯-u¯s) 14
u¯sw¯sr¯+(w¯s+c)w¯sz¯=Km(w¯-w¯s) 15
ρCp[u¯T¯r¯+(w¯+c)T¯z¯]=κ[2T¯r2+1r¯T¯r¯+2T¯z¯2]+Q0. 16

Let us introduce the following dimensionless variables and parameters:

w=w¯c,u=u¯δc,r=r¯a,z=z¯λ,τ¯=τ¯ijaμc,us=u¯sδc,ws=w¯sc,t=ct¯λ,p=a2p¯λμc,θ=T¯-T¯0ΔT¯,δ=aλ,h=h¯aRe=ρCaμ,Pr=μCpk,Gr=ρgαΔTa2μc,β=Q0a2kΔT,α1=α1cμa,A=KNa2μ,B=Kamc,ϕ=ba. 17

where ΔT¯=T¯1-T¯0 and T¯1, and T¯0 correspond to the temperature differences, upper and lower wall temperature. In addition, Re, Pr, Gr, and β correspond to the Reynolds, Prandtl, Grashof number and parameter of heat source/sink.

Using Eq. (17), one obtains the following dimensionless form of Eqs. (12)–(16):

δ3Re[uur+(w+1)uz]=-pr+δrr(rτrr)+δ2zτrz-δτθθr+δ2A(us-u) 18
δRe[uwr+(w+1)wz]=-pz-1rr(rτrz)+δzτzz+A(ws-w)-Grθ 19
δususr+(ws+1)usz=B(u-us) 20
δuswsr+(ws+1)wsz=B(w-ws) 21
δRePr[uθr+(w+1)θz]=2θ+β 22

Then, the dimensionless form of the stress tensor components are given by:

τrr=2δur+α1[(wr)2-δ4(uz)2+2δ2(u2ur2+w2urz)] 23
τrz=δ2uz+wr+α1[δ3uruz+δwrwz-δurwr-δ3uzwz+δ3u2urz+δu2wr2+δ3w2uz2+δw2wrz] 24
τzz=2δwz+α1[δ4(uz)2-(wr)2+2δ[u2wrz+w2wz2] 25
τθθ=2δur+2α1δ2[urur-u2r2+wruz] 26

with dimensionless 2 of the form:

2=2r2+1rr+δ22z2 27

The flow equations can be expressed as:

u=-1rψz,w=1rψr, 28
us=-1rφz,ws=1rφr. 29

By combining Eqs. (28) and (29) with Eqs. (18) and (26) one achieves:

Reδ{δ2[-2r2ψz2ψz2+1r3ψz3ψr-1r33ψr-3ψz3]-[-3r3ψrψz+3r2ψz2ψr2-1rψ3ψr3-1r2ψr2ψrz+1rψr3ψr2z+1r2ψrz+3ψr2z]}=δ2rz(rτrr)+δ2r2τrzz2-δ2τθθz-rr(1rrτrz)-δr2τzzrz-A(12φ-12ψ)-Grrθr 30
δ{δ2[-2r2φz2φz2+1rφz3φrz2-1r3φz3φr-3φz3]-[-3r3φrφz+3r22φr2φz-1r22φrzφr-1r3φr3φz+1r3φr2zφz-1r2φrz+3φr2z]}=B(12φ-12ψ) 31

The dimensionless time flow relations for the fluid and the solid particles take the form:

Q=F+12(1+ϕsinz)2Qs=Fs+12(1+ϕsinz)2

where

F=0hψrdr=ψ(h)-ψ(0) 32
Fs=0hφrdr=φ(h)-φ(0) 33

The expression for the pressure rise Δp and the friction force Fλ, respectively can be written as:

Δp=02πdpdzdz

and

Fλ=02πh2(-dpdz)dz

where

h=1+ϕsinz

From Eq. (19) one gets dpdz in the form of:

dpdz=1rr(rτrz)+δz(tauzz)+Ar(φr-ψr)+Grθ-δRe[-1rψzr(1rψr)+(1rψr+1)z(1rψr)] 34

In the dimensionless wave frame, the boundary conditions can be casted as:

ψ=0,φ=0,r(1rψr)=0atr=0 35
ψ=F,φ=Fs,1rψr=-1atr=h 36
θr=0atr=0 37
θ=0atr=h 38

Analytical method

Following the perturbation procedure to introduce the physical properties ψ,ϕ,θ,F,Fs and p as a mathematically power series with small perturbation parameter δ we then substitute into the governing Eqs. (30–34) to obtain three sets of equations and boundary conditions (35–38) resulting from collecting the similar power terms δ and δ2 which are sufficient for computing the solution. The Eqs. (3034) subjected to the boundary conditions (3538) have been solved analytically by the perturbation procedure, formally known described in25.

Analytical solutions

As aforementioned, the perturbation technique was used to get the solutions of a set of nonlinear equations of the fluid and dust particles derived from the analytical model presented in the last section. Following the method referred in25, in terms of a small perturbation parameter δ one obtains various perturbation series as:

ψ=ψ0+δψ1+δ2ψ2+O(δ3); 39
φ=φ0+δφ1+δ2φ2+O(δ3); 40
θ=θ0+δθ1+δ2θ2+O(δ3); 41
F=F0+δF1+δ2F2+O(δ3); 42
Fs=Fs0+δFs1+δ2Fs2+O(δ3); 43
p=p0+δp1+δ2p2+O(δ3). 44

By combining Eqs. (39)–(44), (30)–(34) and (35)–(38) one gets the underlying zeroth-order, first-order and second-order equations together with the corresponding boundary conditions given by:

zero-Order Solution of O(δ)

-rr[1rr(rτ0rz)]-A[2r2-1rr](φ0-ψ0)-Grrθ0r=0 45
B[2r2-1rr](φ0-ψ0)=0 46

dp0dz=1rr(rτ0rz)+Ar(φ0r-ψ0r)+Grθ0 48

where

τ0rz=w0r=r(1rψ0r)

with the boundary conditions

ψ0=0,r(1rψ0r)=0,θ0r=0,φ0=0onr=0 49
ψ0=F0,1rψ0r=0,θ0=0,φ0=Fs0onr=h 50

Substituting Eqs. (49)–(50) into the Eqs. (45)–(48) one obtains:

ψ0(r,z)=1384r296r2C3(z)+2C1(z)+βGrr4 51
φ0(r,z)=14r4C3(z)+12r2C4(z)+1384βGrr6 52
θ0(r,z)=-(r2β)/4)+A1 53

Where the constants A1,C1,C3,C4 are expressed as:

A1=h2β4; 54
C1=4F0h2+1192βGrh4+1; 55
C3=-2h2-148Grh2β-4F0h4; 56
C4=1+1192Gr;h4β+2(F0+Fs0)h2. 57

first-Order Solution of O(δ)

The first-order approximation of O(δ)attains the following equations:

Re[3r3ψ0rψ0z+3r2ψ0z2ψ0r2+1rψ0z3ψ0r3+1r2ψ0r2ψ0rz-1rψ0z3ψ0r2z+1r2ψ0rz-3ψ0r2z]=2rz(rτ0rr)-rr[1rr(rτ1rz)]-r2τ0zzrz-A(2φ1-12ψ1)-Grrθ1r 58

The boundary conditions are written as:

ψ1=0,r(1rψ1r)=0,θ1r=0,φ0=0onr=0 62
ψ1=F1,1rψ1r=0,θ1=0,φ1=Fs1onr=h 63

where

τ0rr=α1r(1rψ0(r,z)r)2 64
τ1rz=r(1rψ1r)-1r2ψ0z2+α1[r(1rψ0r)1r2ψ0rz+r(1rψ0r)1r2ψ0rz-1rψ0z2r2(1rψ0r)+1rψ0r2rz(1rψ0r)] 65
τ0zz=-α1(r(1rψ1r))2 66

Through the algebraic manipulations of the Eqs. (51)–(53), (58)–(61), and (62)–(63) one attains the solution of the First-Order equations of the the form:

These equations were solved numerically using DSolve of Mathematica software (https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-11/). In the absence of heat transfer, we get the same solutions of stream functions for a second-grade fluid and dust particles as obtained by28. Also, if there is no solid particles and heat transfer, the solution is same in the paper12.

Results and discussion

This study aimed to determine the influence of heat transfer on the transport behaviours of a second-grade dusty fluid flown in a flexible tube with peristaltic movement of the wall. The motion of dust particles and fluid were analytically modeled diverse nonlinear equations and solved analytically using perturbation approach. Numerical solutions of these modeled equations were obtained by DSolve of the Mathematica 11 software (https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/new-in-11/). Relevant parameters associated to the impact of heat transfer on the peristaltic transport of the fluid like Re, Pr, Gr, δ, β and α1 were evaluated to determine the mechanism of such transport. In addition, diverse physical quantities such as ws, w, θ, Fλ, Δp and streamline pattern were determined to describe the transport process. Figures 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 illustrates the variation of the dust particles velocity, fluid velocity, temperature, frictional force, pressure rise, and trapping.

The values of Re, Pr, Gr, δ, and β were shown to significantly influence dust particles velocity during the fluid transport (Fig. 2). With the increase of Re, Gr and β values, the velocity of the parcicles was first reduced in the wave number range of -1.0r-0.6 and 0.6r1.0 then increased in the range of -0.6r0.6, This increase refers that viscous forces are weakening thus particles may flow more smoothly. Furthermore, the velocity of the particles was decreased with the increase of Prandtl number in the range of -1.0r1.0 and the particles velocity was first increased with the increase of wave number δ in the range of -1.0r0.6 and then dropped in the range of 0.6r1.0. It is observed that the dust particles velocity is maximum in the central line of the artery for all the four values of Re, Pr, Gr, δ, and β and therefore, maximum decrease in the central axis of the tube. The present observation are with the findings of28.

The results in Fig. 3 show the parabolic profile of the fluid velocity at the inlet r=0 of the tube for constant parameter’s values. The fluid velocity was found to decrease with the increase of Re and β in the range of -1.0r-0.3 and 0.3r1.0. However, the fluid velocity remained insensitive to Re and β in the range of -0.3r0.3. As decrease in Reynolds number enhances the friction force thus causing reducing in the fluid velocity. The fluid velocity was increased with the increase of Pr and wave number in the range of -0.6r0.6, so the fluid flows more smoothly and efficiently in the desired direction. The fluid velocity was dropped with the increase of Pr and wave number (δ) in the tube walls viscinity. With the rise in the Prandtl number (Pr), we see an increasing manner in the velocity in the center of the tube. Furthermore, The fluid velocity was reduced with the increase of Gr and increased with the increase of α1. One can observe that fluid velocity is in oscillatory behavior, which may be due to peristalsis. Various physical parameters were shown appreciably affect the temperature profile of the fluid (Fig. 4). The temperature being the mean molecular kinetic energy of the fluid depends on the particles velocity. In this study, the values of θ was increased with the increase of Re, Pr, Gr, δ and β, whereas it was dropped with the increase of α1 in the proximity of the tube surface r. In short, the temperature variation of the fluid at the inlet r=0 was discerned to be parabolic for constant values of the physical parameters. This result is in good agreement with the results obtained by15. From the observations of the results, it has been noted that parameters involved have a similar role in the temperature, since the temperature determines the average kinetic energy which is related to the motion of fluid particles.

Figure 5 displays the frictional force profiles of the fluid for various values of β, δ, Gr, and ϕ. The values of Fλ were decreased rapidly with increasing values β, δ and Gr, while it was increased with the increase of volume flow rate (Q). Furthermore, the values of Fλ were decreased for Q(-2,0) and increased for Q(0,2) with the increase of ϕ.

Figure 6 depicts variation of the dusty fluid pressure for various values of β, δ, Gr, and ϕ. The values of Δp of the fluid were increased rapidly with the increase of β, δ and Gr. In addition, Δp values of the fluid were increase with the increase of ϕ for Q[-2,0] and it decreases for Q[0,2]. The variation of Δp with respect to the studied parameters of the dusty fluid followed a reverse trend compared to Fλ. As expected, the pressure rise results in higher values for small mean volume flow rates and lower values for large Q. Furthermore, peristaltic pumping takes place in this area -2Q2, otherwise augmented pumping occurs.

Figure 7 illustrates the effect various β values on the streamline patterns of the dusty-fluid. It is important to mention that the study of trapping phenomena in the field of peristaltic transport of fluid remains challenging wherein streamline patterns of the dusty-fluid can provide valuable insight. In the wave frame, the streamline patterns are usually comparable to the boundary wall. However, under certain situations the streamlines of the fluid split to entrap a bolus and shoved together with the peristaltic wave at the wave speed. The sizes of the trapped bolus were reduced with the increase of β values and then gradually disappeared at large values of β, the movement of bolus can be seen stretching towards the upward direction.

Figure 8 shows the δ dependence of the streamline patterns of the fluid motion wherein the trapping occurred close to the tube boundary. The sizes of the bolus were decreased with the increase of δ values. As wave number is raised, the movement of bolus divided into two small bolus and the streamlines increase. Figure 9 depicts the Re dependent variation in the streamline patterns of the fluid. Yet again, the sizes of the trapped bolus were enlarged with the increase of Reynolds number, viscous force weakens thus it was observed that the motion of the fluid gets smoother and bolus expands and move towards upward direction. Figure 10 demonstrates the alteration in the streamline hallucinations for different values of Pr. The streamlines of the fluid were significantly influenced by the variation of Pr where in the volume of bolus was remarkably enhanced. Figure 11 displays the dependence of the fluid’s streamline patterns on the variation of Gr. The number of bolus was dropped and the size was enlarged with the increase of Gr, indicating the trapping of bolus bounded by invariant closed streamlines of the dusty fluid. As the values of Pr and Gr are increased, a clear change in the formation and volume of the bolus was observed. The motion of the fluid particles is towards the direction of the Prandtl and Grashof numbers.

Conclusion

This paper comprehensively determined the effects of heat transfer on the transport features of a second-grade dusty fluid flown in a flexible tube under peristaltic motion of the wall for the first time. Both fine dust particles and fluid motion through the cylindrical tube were modeled using the nonlinear coupled differential equations. Standard perturbation method was used to get the analytical solutions of the model equations. Based on the numerical results obtained using DSolver of the Mathematica software the following conclusions may be drawn:

  1. With the increase of Re and Gr values, the trapped bolus of dust particles and fluid were enlarged due to viscous force weakens thus causing the motion of the fluid gets smoother and bolus get enhanced.

  2. The temperature of the dusty fluid was increased with the increase of Re, Pr, Gr, δ and β values, the fluid flows more smoothly and efficiently in the desired direction.

  3. The velocity of the dust particles and fluid was increased with the increase of Pr and wave number in the range of -0.6r0.6. One can observe that the velocity is in oscillatory behavior, which may be due to peristalsis.

  4. The parameters Re, Pr, Gr, δ and β have a tendency to speed up the motion of fluid. It is revealed that up to 10% fluid velocity increasing occurs in the presence of these parameters.

  5. The frictional forces in the fluid showed reverse trend than the pressure rise.

  6. Generally, the heat transfer-mediated peristaltic transport properties of the proposed dusty fluid were affirmed to depend considerably on various physical parameters.

  7. The achieved results were in good agreement with the recent state-of-the-art works reported in the literatures.

  8. It was asserted that the present findings may be beneficial for the advancement of fluid mechanics, biomendical sciences, and engineering.

  9. The generated new knowledge can certainly help the surgeon to control the gastric fluid flow in small intestine during endoscopy.

Future directions

In future one should exploit both deterministic and stochastic numerical solver for both fluid mechanics problems of paramount significance. In future, one may implement the Lobatto IIIA scheme for the numerical treatment of many potential applications arising in the fields of Bioinformatics, astro/plasma/atomic physics, nonlinear circuit models, fluid mechanics, financial mathematics and COVID-19 virus models.
