Simultaneous effects of nanoparticles and slip on Jeffrey fluid through tapered artery with mild stenosis

This study examines the effects of nanoparticles for the blood flow of Jeffrey fluid in tapered artery with stenosis. The slip effects along with permeable nature of the arterial wall in the presence of convection are also taken into account. Mathematical modeling is based upon continuity, momentum and energy equations. This analysis is carried out under the constraints of mild stenosis. Closed form solutions for velocity and concentration are obtained. Numerical integration is used to analyze the novel features of flow impedance, pressure rise and stream function. Effects of pertinent parameters such as Brownian diffusion coefficient, thermospheric diffusion parameter, Grashof number and material constant of Jeffrey fluid on velocity, temperature and concentration are discussed through graphs.
