BLOOD FLOW ANALYSIS THROUGH AN INCLINED ARTERY HAVING MULTIPLE STENOSIS
WITH VARIABLE NANO FLUID VISCOSITY USING SINGLE WALL CARBON NANOTUBE
(SWCNT).
Abstract
In an inclined artery with a non-uniform cross-section, this work
investigates the changing viscosity and thermal conductivity of a single
wall carbon nanotube with numerous, symmetrical stenoses. Assuming that
the flow is experiencing no-slip conditions and the stenoses are mild, a
mathematical model is proposed. To obtain the equations characterizing
heat conduction, axial velocity, flow resistance, and wall shear stress
under the effect of SWCNT, governing equations are formulated and
solved. The differences resulting from varying amounts of SWCNT are
compared numerically. It has been noted that when stenoses get higher,
the impedance (or resistance to the flow) λ rises but the wall shear
stress (τ) falls. Additionally, flow patterns is illustrated using
streamlines.
