Entropy generation and endoscopic effects on peristalsis of nanofluid are addressed. Inner tube is taken rigid, while sinusoidal wave travels along the outer tube. Blood is used as the base fluid, whereas titanium is considered as nanoparticle. Maxwell model of effective thermal conductivity is util...
