Second Law Analysis of Ciliary Pumping Transport in an Inclined Channel Coated with Carreau Fluid under a Magnetic Field
A complete thermal analysis is performed for the propulsion of cilia in an inclined channel. Coating around the channel walls is provided by a Carreau fluid under a uniform magnetic field. Uniformly grown cilia produce propulsive metachronal waves by moving in a coordinated rhythm along the channel...
