Abstract

Nanotechnology and nanofluids offer promising avenues for enhancing our understanding and control of blood flow dynamics, providing novel solutions for addressing challenges in cardiovascular health and medical diagnostics. This paper investigates the impact of silver nanoparticles infused in blood within a stenosed artery under the influence of a magnetic field. The governing equations of continuity, mass, and heat transfer are non-dimensionalized to facilitate numerical solution. Utilizing the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method implemented in MATLAB, the non-dimensionalized equations are solved to analyze the effects of pertinent parameters on flow velocity and heat transfer in the presence of a magnetic field. The study reveals significant insights into the behavior of blood flow and heat transfer when silver nanoparticles are introduced into the bloodstream in the context of arterial stenosis and magnetic field exposure. The analysis provides valuable information on how the magnetic field and nanoparticle infusion affect flow characteristics and thermal dynamics within the stenosed artery. The rise in the volume fraction of nanoparticles slows down the nanofluid. The augmented values of magnetic parameter results in decrease in velocity but increase in temperature. The thickness of boundary layer at arterial wall decreases with enhancement in Prandtl number. The findings of this research hold promise for applications in biomedicine and medical science, offering potential strategies for enhancing therapeutic interventions in cardiovascular diseases. This study contributes to the advancement of biomedical engineering and offers avenues for the development of novel treatments and diagnostic techniques by elucidating the intricate interplay between nanoparticles, blood flow, and magnetic fields within stenosed arteries.
