Abstracts

EN

In the present study,we investigate the unsteady
peristaltic transport of a viscoelastic fluid with fractional
Burgers’ model in an inclined tube. We suppose that the
viscosity is variable in the radial direction. This analysis
has been carried out under low Reynolds number and
long-wavelength approximations. An analytical solution
to the problem is obtained using a fractional calculus approach.
Figures are plotted to show the effects of angle
of inclination, Reynolds number, Froude number, material
constants, fractional parameters, parameter of viscosity
and amplitude ratio on the pressure gradient, pressure
rise, friction force, axial velocity and on the mechanical efficiency.
