Abstract

The current investigation deals with the bioconvective peristaltic flow of a Sutterby nanofluid in a channel. Here, symmetric channel walls are considered to be elastic. Thermal transport included effects such as thermal radiation, Joule heating, and dissipation. The characteristics of a first-order chemical reaction are integrated into mass transport. We utilized a large wavelength approximation with a small Reynolds number to simplify the system. After that, we used numerical techniques for the solution of a complex system of equations. Finally, the effects of several parameters are examined graphically. This research could have a big influence on optimizing heat and mass transfer in nanofluid-based systems, with potential implications for solar energy systems, thermal management devices, biosensors, fuel cell technology, pharmaceutical processing, and targeted drug delivery mechanisms.
