| Abstract: | This study intends to investigate the influences of thermal radiation and variable electrical conductivity on the MHD peristaltic flow of Carreau nanofluids as the radiotherapy and thermotherapy are required for cancer treatment. Formulation of temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity is introduced for the first time in the peristaltic literature. The related equations of momentum, mass, and concentration are reformulated using lubrication approximations (ie, tiny or zero Reynolds number and long wavelength). These simplified equations are solved numerically with the aid of Parameteric‐NDSolve. Results for velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are obtained in three‐dimensional analytical forms. The streamline graphs are offered in the terminus, which elucidate the trapping bolus phenomenon. A “special case” of our results offered to get the solutions over certain contours for the behaviors of velocity, temperature, and nanoparticle concentration. It is found that the magnetic nanoparticles acquire more energy at high temperature, enabling them to destroy and damage tumors tissues (thermotherapy of oncology). Radiation is the reason for spreading the energy, that is, the energy of all the fluid nanoparticles does not continue with the same value. Therefore, in cancer treatment, doctors use high doses of radiation to cure cancer cells and prevent it from returning (radiotherapy of oncology). |
