Heat and mass transfer analysis for thermally radiative ternary hybrid nanofluid flow with heat source: A biomedical application

Abstract

The impact of heat radiation on chemical reactive flow of a magnetized trihybrid nanofluid via a stenotic artery is briefly examined in this work. The characteristics of Joule heating and heat radiation are also taken into account. Its goal is to compare the Yamada-Ota and Xue models' behaviours. It uses blood as the main liquid and a trihybrid nanofluid of copper (Cu), gold (Au), and silver (Ag). The promise of silver, gold, and copper nanoparticles for imaging and drug administration has led to their widespread application as drug delivery nanomaterials. The domains of healthcare and biomedical engineering may benefit greatly from the use of this technique. The fluid dynamics of a stenotic artery must be understood in order to predict and treat cardiovascular disorders. The incorporation of heat sources and chemical interactions increases complexity and allows for a more accurate depiction of physiological conditions. This model may contribute to the progress of cardiovascular research by offering useful information for the creation of specific medications and better medical interventions for problems involving arterial blockages and the heat and chemical reactions that occur inside the blood flow. The complicated PDEs are first transformed into more easily understood dimensionless ODEs using a suitable collection of similarity variables. These altered ODEs are then thoroughly examined by the MATLAB programming environment's integrated bvp4c solver, which produces both informative graphical representations and numerical solutions. When considering heat and mass transmission efficiency, the YOM performs better than the Xue trihybrid nanofluid model. The present method could be quite useful for generating both the numerical solutions and the graphical findings for the efficient administration of blood medication.
