Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the effect of heat transfer on the flow of tangent hyperbolic nanofluid in a ciliated tube (fallopian tube where embryo in blood make the development). This study will be beneficial for the researchers and medical experts in the field of embryology. The nanoparticles are beneficial to remove the cysts from the fallopian tube where development of embryo takes place. To resolves the ciliary flow problems, medical doctors use nanoparticles (drug delivery) that may create a temperature gradient. The heat transfer helps to optimize the energy for which the entropy generation is reduced. Therefore, in this research we discuss the heat transfer effect on tangent hyperbolic nanofluid and entropy generation due to ciliary movement. The governing partial differential equations are solved by HPM and software MATHEMATICA™. Effect of viscoelastic parameter, nanoparticles, cilia length and Brinkman number on the velocity, temperature and entropy generation has been illustrated with the help of graphs. Graphical results show that thermal conductivity of fluid increases by adding nanoparticles. The entropy generation due to nanoparticles will decrease the viscosity near the tube wall and blood through tube will flow with normal pressure.
