Sustainability, Vol. 10, Pages 2671: The Sustainable Characteristic of Bio-Bi-Phase Flow of Peristaltic Transport of MHD Jeffrey Fluid in the Human Body Sustainability doi: 10.3390/su10082671 Authors: Ahmed Zeeshan Nouman Ijaz Tehseen Abbas Rahmat Ellahi This study deals with the peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid with uniformly distributed identical rigid particles in a rectangular duct. The effects of a magnetohydrodynamics bio-bi-phase flow are taken into account. The governing equations for mass and momentum are simplified using the fact that wavelength is much greater than the amplitude and small Reynolds number. A closed-form solution for velocity is obtained by means of the eigenfunction expansion method whereby pressure rise is numerically calculated. The results are graphically presented to observe the effects of different physical parameters and the suitability of the method. The results for hydrodynamic, Newtonian fluid, and single-phase problems can be respectively obtained by taking the Hartmann number (M = 0), relaxation time (λ1=0), and volume fraction (C = 0) as special cases of this problem.
