Flow of blood mixed with copper nanoparticles in an inclined overlapping stenosed artery with magnetic field

Abstract

A literature survey related to nanoparticles reveals that nanofluids are getting more popularity in hematological treatment. Development in this direction motivated us to write a theoretical study on the flow of blood mixed with suspended copper nanoparticles with water as a base fluid in an inclined overlapping stenosed artery under the influence of a magnetic field. The geometry of an overlapping stenosed arterial section is being written mathematically by an appropriate geometric expression. The rheology of the blood is formulated mathematically by coupled partial differential equations. The coupled partial differential equations governing the problem are simplified and solved analytically under mild stenosis assumptions. The expressions for velocity, temperature, pressure droplet, flow resistance, and wall shear stress distribution are obtained in the present analysis. Effects of some emerging physical parameters on arterial blood flow characteristics are shown graphically and discussed briefly for copper nanoparticles.
