Mixed convective peristaltic flow of carbon nanotubes submerged in water using different thermal conductivity models

• Peristaltic transport of CNTs-water nanofluid through an asymmetric channel is examined.• Velocity slip, temperature jump, viscous dissipation, heat generation/absorption and mixed convection effects are taken into account.• Mathematical modelling is carried out using the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations.• Series solutions for the axial velocity, pressure gradient, temperature and heat transfer rate at the wall as obtained and studied graphically.• Comparison between thermal conductivity models is also presented for the future reference.
