Effects of Heat Transfer on Unsteady MHD Blood Flow Through a Tapered and Overlapping Stenosed Artery with Permeable Parameter

Abstract

The blood flows through a tapered and overlapping stenosed artery was 
examined under the influence of magnetic field and porosity. The equations 
governing the blood flow were formulated and solved analytically. The Nusselt 
number, resistance to flow, wall shear stress and streamline function were 
resolved and the results were presented graphically. The result obtained 
depicted that the viscosity of the blood flow depends on temperature. It was also 
observed that the velocity of the blood dropped as the magnetic parameter 
increasing in the velocity profile whereas in the temperature profile, the blood 
temperature increased under the influence of magnetic parameter. The result 
showed that the increase of blood temperature could be adversely affected the 
artery.
