Analytical and numerical investigation of thermal distribution for hybrid nanofluid through an oblique artery with mild stenosis

Abstract

Article highlights AGM is the more accurate method than FEM and Runge–Kutta by less than 7 percent error. The maximum difference between the three methods happened near the wall of the vessel. FEM is more accurate than Runge–Kutta by less than 9 percent error. Al2O3 is the best nanoparticle for decreasing the maximum temperature of the blood.
