Description
Summary:This article is intended for investigating the entropy generation analysis for the peristaltic flow of Cu-water nanofluid with magnetic field in a lopsided channel. The mathematical formulation is presented. The resulting equations are solved exactly. The obtained expressions for pressure gradient, pressure rise, temperature and velocity phenomenon are described through graphs for various pertinent parameters. The streamlines are drawn for some physical quantities to discuss the trapping phenomenon.
