Heat Transport Exploration for Hybrid Nanoparticle (Cu, Fe3O4)-Based Blood Flow via Tapered Complex Wavy Curved Channel with Slip Features

Micromachines (Basel). 2022 Aug 28;13(9):1415. doi: 10.3390/mi13091415.

Abstract

Curved veins and arteries make up the human cardiovascular system, and the peristalsis process underlies the blood flowing in these ducts. The blood flow in the presence of hybrid nanoparticles through a tapered complex wavy curved channel is numerically investigated. The behavior of the blood is characterized by the Casson fluid model while the physical properties of iron (Fe3O4) and copper (Cu) are used in the analysis. The fundamental laws of mass, momentum and energy give rise the system of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations which are normalized using the variables, and the resulting set of governing relations are simplified in view of a smaller Reynolds model approach. The numerical simulations are performed using the computational software Mathematica's built-in ND scheme. It is noted that the velocity of the blood is abated by the nanoparticles' concentration and assisted in the non-uniform channel core. Furthermore, the nanoparticles' volume fraction and the dimensionless curvature of the channel reduce the temperature profile.
