Abstract :
This article presents the analysis of peristaltic transport of reactive viscous fluid in a two-dimensional channel. We assumed that the exothermic reaction takes place within the channel under Arrhenius kinetics. The viscosity of fluid is taken temperature dependent. The nonlinear equations governing the flow are derived under the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The power series solutions are constructed in terms of small powers of the reaction parameter. The graphical results are presented and the effects of embedded parameters on the quantities of interest are examined.
