The model developed in this study presents a mathematical approach to the physiological transport of seminal liquid due to ciliary movements, which are attached with the lumen of the ductile efferent in the male reproductive system. The rheological properties of the seminal liquids were described using the Jeffrey liquid model. The problem described an electromagnetic mixed convective flow of a Jeffrey liquid through a vertical channel with heat and mass transfers. The effects of chemical reactions and the external heat generation were included in the formulation. The flow took place through an active porous medium (due to thick cilia mat and other deposits) and was influenced by the Lorentz magnetic force. Four basic conservation laws of mass, momentum, energy, and concentration were utilized in the mathematical modeling. These are highly nonlinear equations, which were simplified due to a physiologically valid approach known as LAT (lubrication approximation theory). Analytical solutions for temperature, concentration, and velocity profiles were evaluated. The expressions describing the pressure–volume flow rate relationships were also obtained. Analysis of various physical and geometrical factors affecting the pressure–volume (pumping) characteristics was also presented. One of the main findings of our study is that the difference between our calculated values of the flow rate and the estimated values of the flow rate in the ductile efferent was negligibly small. Moreover, our results can be implemented in the artificial cilia pumping systems in microchannels.
