Blood Flow Analysis Through an Inclined Artery Having Multiple Stenosis with Variable Nano Fluid Viscosity Using Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT)
Abstract
The steady flow of viscous fluid flow through an inclined tube of the non-uniform cross-section including multiple stenoses has been investigated under the influence of a single-wall carbon Nanotube (SWCNT). We linearized the flow equations and determined the flow resistance and wall shear stress expressions assuming mild stenoses. Studies have examined how parameters affect flow variables. It is found that the resistance of the flow increases with stenoses height. It is also interesting to notice that the wall shear stress decreases with the increase of the height of stenoses. It is also observed that the resistance to the flow (λ–) increases with inclination (α), source and sink parameter (β), Grashof number (Br) , dynamic viscosity (μ) and flux (q). The velocity profiles are presented in the form of streamlines.
