Influence of mixed convection on blood flow of jeffrey fluid through a tapered stenosed artery

Abstract

Effect of heat and mass transfer on the blood flow through a tapered artery with stenosis is examined assuming blood as Jeffrey fluid. The governing equations have been modelled in cylindrical co-ordinates. Series solutions are constructed for the velocity, temperature, concentration, resistance impedance, wall shear stress, and shearing stress at the stenosis throat. Attention has been mainly focused to the analysis of embedded parameters in converging, diverging, and non-tapered situations.
