The flow of 2-D cross fluid model with mass and heat transmission over a linearly stretched sheet is analyzed in this paper. Furthermore, we have expanded our study by considering the effects of MHD flow, stagnation point, double stratification, heat generation, radiation effect, nanofluid flow, activation energy and mass diffusion. This type of study has not being investigated previously in literature. The flow generating PDEs are altered into ODEs by deploying suitable transformations. The effects of the parameters involved, namely the Weissenberg number, magnetic field coefficient, Brownian motion coefficient, radiation parameter, Damkohler number, thermophoresis coefficient, Schmidt number, activation energy, heat generation parameter and temperature difference coefficient on the velocity, concentration and energy fields are thoroughly scrutinized. The problem is solved through numerical technique (BVP4c) on MATLAB. The outcomes reveal that the velocity curve upsurges for rising Weissenberg number and decreases due to magnetic parameter. The heat field improves for increasing behavior of the Brownian motion, thermophoresis, heat generation, thermal conductivity and radiation coefficient whereas reverse results are obtained due to Prandtl number and stratification parameter. The concentration improves due to thermophoresis parameter and diffusivity coefficient while reverse outcomes are noticed due to Schmidt number, Damkohler number, temperature difference parameter and Brownian motion parameter.

• A hybrid nanofluid study is examined in a sinusoidal wavy channel. • Heat generation effects are also analyzed. • Long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximation is assumed. • SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O Phenomena is taken. • Perturbation method is used to calculate the solution of the problem. The peristaltic transport of hybrid nanofluid (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) flow in a sinusoidal wavy channel under the heat generation effect is reported in present analysis. We have simplified two dimensional equations of hybrid nanofluid for peristaltic transport by using long wavelength (δ ≪ 1) and small Reynolds (Re) number assumptions. We also modeled temperature equation for hybrid nanofluid flow with the effect of heat generation. The two dimensional peristaltic flow equations of (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) are analytically solved by using perturbation method. The numerical integration and solutions of governing two dimensional equations are obtained in Mathematica software. The graphically behavior of solutions for temperature, pressure rise, streamlines and pressure gradient are elucidated with Matlab software. It is noticed that the pressure rise for hybrid nanofluid (SiO 2 –TiO 2 /H 2 O) increases for both amplitudes (a and b), solid fractional volume (ξ 1) and heat generation (β). We observe that higher pressure gradient requires to retain same flux in narrow part of sinusoidal channel, also due to increase of amplitudes (a and b) pressure gradient increases. Moreover size of trapping bolus decreases by increase of channel width d and increases due to increase of heat generation parameter β. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
