TWO PHASE SLIP FLOW OF BLOOD IN HEPATIC ARTERY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HEPATITIS B

Abstract

In this paper, we have presented a model of two-phased arterial hepatic blood flow in hepaticarteries remote from the heart and proximate to the Liver keeping in view the nature of hepatic blood circulation in the human body. Blood is supposed to be non-Newtonian of the power-law type. Solutions of the constitutive equations are obtained in analytical as well as in numerical forms. The role of hematocrit is explicit in the determination of blood pressure drop in the case of Hepatic disease Hepatitis B.
