Temperature Distribution of Blood Flow Through W-Shaped Tapered Stenosis Artery

Abstract

Rashmi Srivastava* and Swati Mishra

The blood flow through w-shaped tapered artery in the presence of catheter is discussed. The equations governing the fluid flow have been solved analytically under the assumption of the mild stenosis. The blood flow behavior through the w-shaped stenosed artery is considered using the Prandlt fluid model and the flow of blood is considered as suspension of nano-particles. The analysis with respect to various parameters arising out of fluid and geometry considered, on temperature distribution of the w-shaped stenosis as well as across the entire length of the stenosis has been reported. Heat transfer phenomena have been examined for the physical features of the flow of blood through a stenosed artery, which is tapered in shape and with the presence of a clot. The temperature profile has been discussed with graphs for several different parameters of clot size, stenosis height, heat source, and sink parameter. It is observed that in converging tapering the temperature provides greater values as estimated together with the non-tapered arteries and diverging tapering arteries
