Abstract
The effect of heat transfer on the motion of blood in a diseased artery has been modeled under the optically thin fluid assumption. Closed-form analytical solutions are obtained for the volume flow rate, rate of heat transfer and shear stress at the vessel wall. The study shows that, in addition to the constriction of the blood vessel and the effect of a magnetic field, the heat transfer also affects the blood flow in the cardiovascular system. This effect is noticeable in the velocity and temperature distributions. The model clearly shows the situation of a patient with a stenosed artery under feverish condition.
