This paper studied the peristaltic transport of upper convected Maxwell nanofluid through a porous medium in a heated (isothermal) symmetric vertical channel. The nanofluid is assumed to be electrically conducting in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. These phenomena are modeled mathematically by a differential equations system by taking low Reynolds number and long-wavelength approximation, the yield differential equations have solved analytically. A suggested new technique to display and discuss the trapping phenomenon is presented. We discussed and analyzed the pumping characteristics, heat function, flow velocity and trapping phenomena which were illustrated graphically through a set of figures for various values of parameters of the problem. The numerical results show that, there are remarkable effects on the vertical velocity, pressure gradient and trapping phenomena with the thermal change of the walls.

This study explained the effects of radiation, magnetic field, and nanoparticle shape on the peristaltic flow of an Upper-Convected Maxwell nanofluid through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel for a better understanding of cooling and heating mechanisms in the presence of magnetic fields. These phenomena are modeled mathematically as a system of non-linear differential equations, that are solved under long-wavelength approximation and low Reynolds number conditions using the perturbation method. The results for nanofluid and temperature described the behavior of the pumping characteristics during their interaction with (the vertical position, thermal radiation, the shape of the nanoparticle, and the magnetic field) analytically and explained graphically. Also, the combined effects of thermal radiation parameters and some physical parameters on pressure rise, pressure gradient, velocity, and heat distribution are pointed out. Qualitatively, a reverse velocity appears with combined high radiation and Grashof number or combined high radiation and low volume flow rate. At high radiation, the spherical nanoparticle shape has the greatest effect on heat distribution.

본 연구에서는 에틸렌 글리콜 기반의 ZnO 나노유체의 열전도도를 비정상열선법(Transient Hot Wire Method)를 이용하여 $10^{\circ}C$에서 $50^{\circ}C$까지 측정하였다. 에틸렌 글리콜 기반의 ZnO 나노유체는 전기선 폭발법을 사용하여 부피비 1%, 3%, 5.5%로 제작 되었으며, 투과전자현미경(Transmission Electron Microscope, TEM)을 이용하여 제작된 에틸렌 글리콜 기반의 ZnO 나노유체의 분산·부유 특성을 확인하였다. 열전도도 측정 결과 에틸렌 글리콜 기반의 ZnO 나노유체는 부피비에 따라 향상하였으며, 5.5%의 부피비에서 최대 26.5%의 열전도도 향상을 보였다. 측정 결과는 기존의 열전도도 예측 모델인 Maxwell 및 Hasselman & Johnson model 과 비교하였다.
