Effects of Rheological Parameters of a Viscoplastic Fluid on Peristaltic Pumping in a Cylindrical Tube
Laboratory of Mechanics, Department of Physics, Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock, Hassan II University, 5366 Maarif, Casablanca, Morocco
In this paper, we study theoretically the peristaltic transport of a generalized four-parameter plastic fluid in a circular cylindrical tube. The present fluid model is presented for the rheological characterization of inelastic fluid foods. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are taken into account to get solution. The effects of embedded parameters on pressure rise, frictional force and especially on the mechanical efficiency have been numerically displayed and physically discussed.
Key words: Peristaltic transport / viscoplastic fluid / four-parameter model / mechanical efficiency
