Recent developments in the Darcy-Forchheimer model of magnetized tetra hybrid nanofluid activation energy/joule heating in a stenotic artery

Abstract

The impact of heat generation and activation energy on the Darcy-Forchheimer flow of magnetized fluid with nanoparticles in the condition of blood flowing arteries is being investigated by researchers from all over the world in an effort to understand the heat transmission component for the treatment of numerous diseases. The assessment of heat transmission has been made with the enclosure of influence like the viscous dissipation, heat source, Joules heating, and thermal radiation. Utilized is a tetra hybrid nanofluid made up of silver (Ag), gold (Au), titanium oxide (TiO2), coper (Cu), and Blood as the base fluid. The main justification for the use of gold, copper, and silver nanoparticles as drug delivery nanomaterials is their potential for drug transport and imaging. The purpose of the presented model is to assess the performance of the well-known tetra hybrid nanofluid models developed by Yamada-Ota and Xue. The main PDE are transformed into ODE via similarity renovations, and these ODE are then numerically solved using the MATLAB built-in bvp4c scheme. The arteries' internal temperature rises as a result of thermal radiation and viscous dissipation. The velocity and thermal distributions show an increasing behavior with greater variations in the flow parameter. The Yamada-Ota model outperforms the Xue tetra hybrid nanofluid model in terms of heat transmission effectiveness.
