Thermal analysis of airway mucus clearance by ciliary activity in the presence of inertial forces

Abstract In this study heat transfer effects on cilia induced mucus flow in human airways is presented. The elliptic wave pattern of tips produces metachronal which enables the transportation highly viscous with nonzero inertial forces. Upper Convective Maxwell model considered as mucus. governing partial differential equations are transformed from fixed frame to by using Galilean transformation and dissipation also incorporated energy equation. non-linear evaluated perturbation technique software “MATHEMATICA” pressure rise computed numerical integration. impact interested parameters temperature profile, velocity, gradient plotted graphs. comparison velocities due symplectic antiplectic achieved graphically.
