Computational analysis of heat transport dynamics in viscous dissipative blood flow within a cylindrical shape artery through influence of autocatalysis and magnetic field orentation
Abstract
Nanofluids consisting of tetra nanoparticles are crucial in bio medical sciences due to their improved thermal transport characteristics. The advanced tailored properties of tera nanoparticles make them useful in several medical interventions, such as hyperthermia treatment, where the targeted tissue can be heated more efficiently, leading to better treatment outcomes. The current study investigates the heat transfer enhancement in a hemodynamic system using tetra nanoparticles. The physical configuration of the blood flow is assumed with in a permeable cylindrical shape stenosed artery. The model incorporates the Carreau model with inclusion of diverse factors such as, exponential space-based heat source, viscous dissipation, infinite shear rate and permeability of surface. Additionally, impact of chemical reaction (autocatalysis) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) consequences is also integrated into the system. The framed partial differential equations (PDEs) generated by physical problem are converted into new dimensionless form of an ordinary differential system (ODEs). Bvp4c MATLAB procedure is fetched for numerical investigation. It is observed that, velocity profile of the fluid is reduced due to intensification in inclined magnetic effect, whereas autocatalysis effect promotes the concentration of nanoparticles in blood flow mixture, which increases the temperature field of fluid. Furthermore, augmentation in the values of Wassenberg number increased the elasticity in blood which enables it to deform and stretch more readily in reaction to alterations in flow conditions and hence reduction is seen in overall blood flow rate. The results revealed the significance of these integrated factors for accurate modelling of blood flow passing through a stenosed artery, which is crucial in medical interventions.
