Abstract

This research investigates the constant of an incompressible Nano-fluid flow in an elastic tube. Homotopy Perturbation method (HPM) is used to describe nonlinear coupled equations of temperature profile and nanoparticle phenomena. Two methods namely, Rubinow and Keller, Mazumdar are used to determine variation of flux. For a Nano- fluid in an elastic tube, the effects of pertinent factors on variation of flux with tube radius are estimated. These effects are represented through graphs. The findings for the current flow characteristics indicate a variety of unexpected behaviors that will enable for more research into physiological fluids in an elastic tube.
