Abstract

This study explores the effect of silver nanoparticles on heat transfer and flow behavior within the context of the Ellis fluid model. It specifically considers electroosmotic forces in a nonuniform divergent channel with compliant walls. The analysis involves studying thermal transport in silver-blood nanofluid flow, using MATHEMATICA 13.2 software to obtain exact solutions for velocity and temperature distribution. Findings reveal that certain parameters, such as wall damping and wall elastic properties, increase skin friction, while compliant wall parameters generally reduce flow velocity. Additionally, wall rigidity and tension parameters lead to larger trapped boluses. Notably, a 1% concentration of nanoparticles enhances heat transfer by up to 13.75%, offering control over heat transfer rates. This research introduces a novel perspective by examining compliant wall impacts on heat transfer analysis in the context of electroosmotic flow within the Ellis fluid model, incorporating silver nanoparticles with potential therapeutic applications due to their antibacterial properties.
