Electrochemical, gravimetric and surface studies of Phalaris canariensis oil extract as corrosion inhibitor for 316 L type stainless steel in H2O-LiCl mixtures

The corrosion inhibition action of Phalaris canariensis extract on 316 L stainless steel in the H2O-35 (wt%) LiCl mixture at different temperatures has been evaluated with the aid of weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. These studies were complemented by Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy, FTIR, gas/mass chromatography analytical techniques and detailed scanning electronic microscopy studies. Results have indicated that Phalaris canariensis extract is an efficient inhibitor, with an efficiency that increases with its concentration, but it decreases as the temperature increases. Phalaris canariensis extract is physically adsorbed onto stainless steel according to a Temkin type of adsorption isotherm. Phalaris canariensis extract affected both anodic and cathodic electrochemical reactions with a stronger effect on the anodic ones, acting, thus, as a mixed type of inhibitor. Main compounds contained in the Phalaris canariensis extract were palmitic and oleic acids, responsible for its inhibitory properties.

Electrochemical, thermodynamic and DFT studies of Fomitopsis pinicola as green corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in sulfuric acid

In this work, the methanolic extract of Fomitopsis pinicola has been evaluated as a green corrosion inhibitor for the dissolution of 1018 carbon steel in 0.5 M sulfuric acid. For this, gravimetric tests and electrochemical methods such as potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance (LPR) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) techniques were used. These tests were aided with Infrared and GC–MS analytical techniques. In addition to this, theoretical calculation with the use of the density functional theory (DFT) technique has been used to correlate the electronic extract properties and its inhibitory capacity. Weight loss results have shown an inhibitor efficiency of 85 % with the addition of 400 ppm. Thermodynamic parameters have shown that Fomitopsis pinicola extract is physically adsorbed onto the steel following a Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed that the extract behaves as a mixed type of corrosion inhibitor inducing the formation of a protective film onto the steel surface. In the presence of the Fomitopsis pinicola extract, a more resistive film obtained the highest polarization resistance value when 400 ppm of extract was used. In addition to this, as the concentration of the extract increased the charge transfer resistance and the double electrochemical layer capacitance decreased. GC–MS results indicated that main compounds contained in the Fomitopsis pinicola extract were Dehydrergosterol, Hydrazino-acetic acid ethyl ester, and Phthalic acid, di (2-propylpentyl) ester, whereas theoretical calculations showed that the highest EHOMO and lowest ELUMO values correspond to Dehydrergosterol and the Phthalic acid, which are the responsible for the extract inhibitory properties.

Two-phase magnetohydrodynamic blood flow through curved porous artery

Blood arteries are important part of our cardiovascular system. A comprehensive study of shape and anatomy of blood arteries allows to elucidate the dynamics of blood flow in these arteries. Typically, the arteries are a curved-tube like structure, with arterial walls exhibiting a composition of various porous layers. The current study embarks on a theoretical exploration of a two-fluid model of blood flow and heat transfer through the curved artery under an influence of a magnetic field. The artery walls are composed of Brinkman and Darcy layers. The blood flows through a curved artery exerts centrifugal forces on the arterial walls that leads to change the blood flow patterns. The significant effects of curvature along with the intensity of an applied magnetic field on the blood flow patterns, heat transfer, and resistance impedance in curved artery have been investigated in the present work. The mathematical model of the proposed work is tackled by the homotopy analysis method using physically relevant boundary and interface conditions. The significant outcome of the present work is that the heat transfer rate increases with the increase in the curvature parameter, and it reduces on raising the couple stress parameter and Hartmann number. The novelty of this work lies in the consideration blood flow and heat transfer in inner endothelial layers of curved porous artery. The result presented in this work is vital to assess the condition of atherosclerosis, aneurysms, vasculties, blood clot, etc.; beyond this, the present model can be extended for medical diagnostics, treatment planning, medical device design, drug delivery optimization, and biomedical engineering research. This study can ultimately contribute for improved patient care and outcomes in cardiovascular medicine.

Advancing Blood Flow in Stenotic Arteries through Magnetohydrodynamic Peristaltic Motion of Hybrid Nanoparticles

This research aims to investigate the efficacy of hybrid nanoparticles in improving magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic blood flow in stenotic arteries. Hybrid nanoparticles combining MHD processes and peristaltic motion show promise for increasing blood flow through constricted arteries. To evaluate the impact of nanoparticles on blood flow parameters, researchers use theoretical modelling and analytical solutions. Incorporating copper and aluminium oxide nanoparticles (Cu-Al2O3) into blood, leading to the formation of an ionic solution, is a crucial step in creating a homogeneous hybrid blood suspension. The mathematical model uses approximations of the stenosis and non-dimensional parameters for a mild stenosis scenario to simplify the underlying coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. Analytical solutions for various blood flow parameters such as velocity, temperature, stream function, wall shear stress, Nusselt number, and flow resistance impedance are obtained using the perturbation technique. This study visually analyzes how different physiological variables affect arterial blood flow characteristics. The heat conductivity of blood is an essential aspect of preserving one's sustenance, which is largely determined by the concentration of hybrid nanoparticles. A streamlined pattern depicts the direction of blood flow within an artery. This research demonstrates that the adverse effects of vascular stenosis can be mitigated by using hybrid nanoparticles. In order to aid narrowed arteries, these nanoparticles lessen wall shear stress, boost axial flow speed, and enhance the velocity profile.

Experimental investigation on Nano-Al2O3 and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) modified cement-based coatings for corrosion resistance

In this work, cementitious coatings doped with nano-Al2O3 (NA) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were prepared in order to enhance corrosion resistance of steel bar. The electro-chemical behaviors and corrosion inhibition properties of coated steel bar and tensioned coated steel bars (subjected to 10 %, 30 % and 50 % yield load) were analyzed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 840 h (35 days). At the end of electrochemical test, coating overall performance was evaluated by visual inspection. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to examine microstructure and elemental composition of coatings. To comprehend the anti-corrosion mechanism of the coatings, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to characterize products composition and chemical groups. Test results obtained by linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy indicated that both tensile and non-tensile coatings resistance show an increasing trend followed by a decrease with increasing NA content. Cementitious coatings incorporating 1 % NA and 0.12 % HPMC by weight of cement exhibited the best corrosion protection. The LPR fluctuates around 3700 Ω cm2, which is about twice as much as a single doped NA coating. Whether subjected to tensile loads or not, OCP values for all coated steel bar were below −0.273 V/SCE, indicating has a 90 % probability of being in active-corrosion. The corrosion resistance of tensioned coated bars decreased as time and increased load level. According to SEM and TEM image, HPMC forms a thin and continuous film on the substrate surface, which acts as a barrier to the penetration of moisture and corrosive agents. Coatings doped with 1 % NA and 0.12 % HPMC formed denser integrated polymer films at the microscopic. FTIR and XRD results showed that coating incorporated NA consumed the cement hydration product Ca(OH)2 to generate more nanofibers filling pores and microcracks. Coatings incorporating HPMC show better resistance to carbonization.

The software designed in this paper is useful for designers working in this field as well as in education process.

Mitigation of Steel Corrosion Threshold Utilizing Plant-Based Green Corrosion Inhibitors through Electrochemical Techniques

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. The corrosion process is influenced by the concrete-steel interface, with the alkaline concrete pore solution initially providing passivation. However, ingress of aggressive substances like chlorides can disrupt the passive layer, initiating active pitting corrosion above a threshold level often taken as 0.4% chloride by cement weight. Once the chloride threshold is exceeded, corrosion propagation depends on oxygen and moisture availability. The resulting rust formation causes expansive cracking and spalling of the concrete cover. Corrosion damage can be mitigated through use of inhibitors like calcium nitrite though high dosages impair concrete strength. Recently, plant-based organic compounds have shown promise as green corrosion inhibitors. The corrosion behavior of steel in concrete can be evaluated through impressed accelerated corrosion testing along with electrochemical techniques like half-cell potential mapping and resistivity measurements. These allow assessment of the probability of corrosion and corrosion rate. Techniques like linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can also quantify instantaneous corrosion rate. Proper structural condition assessment and repair using both conventional and green inhibitors is crucial to control steel corrosion, maintain service life and ensure safety. Further research is needed on green corrosion mitigation methods and advanced non-destructive testing techniques.

Effects of heat, moisture/water, and compressive force on frequency response spectrum of super sensitive carbon nanofiber aggregates (SSCNFA)

Cement-based sensors should exhibit accurate measurements of strain with high sensitivity and reliability under various environmental conditions. The ability of such sensors to perform in adverse situations needs to be well developed and critically examined. Cement-based sensors are generally embedded in structural/non-structural concrete components for health monitoring. This paper provides an in-depth study of the performance and response of Super Sensitive Carbon Nanofiber Aggregates (SSCNFA) under challenging and adverse environmental conditions, including different temperature, moisture/water exposure, and compressive forces. The SSCNFA detects changes in temperatures, moist environments, and compressive forces through changes in the electrical impedance. In this study, the change in the total impedance of SSCNFAs are experimentally examined by alternating current (AC) measurements (20 Hz–300 kHz) under various environmental conditions. The thermal tests (21 °C–120 °C) and the impedance recovery tests examine and elaborate the phenomenon of resistance and total impedance reduction. The waterproofing test identifies the suitable polymer to prevent moisture percolating through the SSNCFA. Also, compression tests examine the stress/strain sensing through piezoresistivity in the linear elastic limit of the SSCNFA. The effects of these external conditions in the selective frequency range are measured to monitor the stability, reliability, recovery, and performance of the SSCNFA.The research reveals that the SSCNFA exhibited a linear electrical response against the temperature at higher frequencies (higher or equal to 10 kHz) with a standard deviation of less than 5 %. The SSCNFA's porous structure absorbs moisture during concrete casting. This absorbed moisture will be influenced by the environmental temperature variations and mechanical stresses during the service period of the structure. Additionally, the impedance recovery test results of uncoated SSCNFAs provide insight into the frequency response against the moisture/water and the stability of electrical response at the higher frequencies (higher or equal to 100 kHz). The waterproofing of the SSCNFA using M-coat A and M-coat B (polymers) proves to be effective, with the waterproofed SSCNFA sensor embedded in concrete exhibiting stress-sensing ability due to piezoresistivity. The electrical response of the SSCNFAs is more sensitive to temperature, moisture/water, and compressive stresses at low frequencies with higher standard deviations than at higher frequencies. Therefore, the experiments performed on SSCNFAs show that the SSCNFA embedded in a concrete structure is suitable for structural health monitoring. Furthermore, this research offers various avenues for the application of the SSCNFA as a multifunctional tool for temperature sensing and moisture detection of concrete structures due to cracks at critical locations.

Use of CeO2 nanoparticles as CO2-corrosion inhibitors of a duplex stainless steel

ABSTRACT The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles as a corrosion inhibitor for the CO2 corrosion of LDX 2101 duplex stainless steel has been evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. Polarization curves have shown that CeO2 nanoparticles behaved as an efficient mixed type of inhibitor, with an efficiency that increases with its concentration reaching a maximum value when 600 ppm of nanoparticles were added. CeO2 nanoparticles were chemically adsorbed onto the steel surface according to a Langmuir type of adsorption isotherm. A passive layer was formed by the addition of CeO2 nanoparticles with lower passive current density and higher pitting potential values than those obtained without these nanoparticles. Corrosion current density decreased whereas the polarization resistance increased by two orders of magnitude in both cases with the addition of the nanoparticles. Similarly, the double layer capacitance was decreased due to the adsorption of the nanoparticles. Steel was susceptible to pitting type of corrosion, but its number and diameter decreased with the nanoparticles.

Bulk resistance and contact impedance: Particular solution for annulus, homogeneous domain and dimensional analysis of the complete electrode model

Viewing the complexity of multiphase flows, in which multi-dimensional and time-changing fluid structures, known as flow patterns, must be captured, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) stands out as an alternative for fluid flow visualization. Using an EIT system, this study presents an enhanced approach for measuring film thickness in two-phase flows. Incorporating bulk resistance and contact impedance contributions, the proposed ohmic model significantly improves accuracy, particularly in low-conductivity scenarios, yielding a robust, accurate, and rapid technique for obtaining images from an EIT-based low-cost acquisition system. Tomographic experiments validate the model’s efficacy using cylindrical sensors and diverse conductivity mediums, including two distinct phantoms. The dimensional analysis of the model yields five dimensionless numbers, revealing interrelations between electrical parameters and sensor construction. A correlation based on a dimensionless number for the contact impedance is obtained. Additionally, the experiments demonstrate a strong interplay with the polarization phenomenon.

Propulsive study of blood flow with heat transfer enhancement connection to ferro copper magnetized nanoparticles in converging tapered stenosed arterial surface

To investigate the effects of magnetic fields and variously structured nanoparticles in narrowing, stenosed arteries, an arterial flow model is incorporated. The aim of this study here is to achieve more realistic results by modeling and simulating the arterial blood flow system with the nanoparticles and shape factor of the nanoparticles. The study of blood flow in tapered stenosed arteries with nanoparticles involves understanding the dynamics of blood circulation in vessels having application in drug delivery. Nanoparticles with specific shape factors can enhance imaging modalities like MRI, CT or ultrasound diagnosing tumor. Metallic nanoparticles in various shapes utilizing water as the base fluid have not yet been considered. Imagine a symmetrical radially but axially nonsymmetric constriction for the blood flow. Along with taking into account the regularity in the sequence of distributing the wall shear stress as well as resistance impedance, the study also takes into account a rise in these readings as the stenosis worsens. For speed, resistive impedance, wall shear and shearing forces at the stenosis throat, results have been computed in exact form. For various Cu-water-relevant parameters, the visual results of several types of converging tapering arteries have been assessed.

Current coordinated distribution and voltage optimization control for multi-VSGs system considering nonlinear and negative sequence loads

In a microgrid system where multiple virtual synchronous generators (VSGs) are interconnected through high impedance cables, the total output negative sequence and harmonic current of multiple VSGs cannot be coordinated based on the capacity of each power conversion system (PCS). In addition, there is significant distortion in the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC). Because the impedance amplitude and impedance angle of the cable change with the harmonic frequency, the resistive virtual impedance reshaping method and fixed impedance angle virtual impedance reshaping method used in the current research cannot solve the harmonic current distribution problem. To solve the above problems, a multi-frequency points VSG impedance reshaping control strategy is proposed in this paper, which can adjust the resistive and inductive output impedance of each harmonic frequency independently. The strategy is based on the harmonic separation algorithm of LPF with Feedforward Compensation (FCLPF) and the voltage controller of Vector Proportional Integral (VPI) in fundamental dq rotation coordinate system, which effectively improve the flexibility and accuracy of harmonic impedance reshaping. Among them, FCLPF harmonic separation algorithm has the characteristics of target frequency bandpass and non-target frequency notch, and can eliminate the coupling interference of each harmonic virtual impedance when accumulating virtual impedance voltage references at various frequency points. The closed-loop transfer function of the multi-parallel VPI voltage controller has the characteristics of unit gain and zero phase shift at each harmonic frequency point, which means the static response error of virtual impedance voltage command can be almost completely eliminated. Under the proposed control strategy, the fundamental positive power can be allocated according to the droop coefficient, the fundamental negative current and harmonic current can be allocated according to the sum of the reshaped virtual impedance and the actual line impedance. Reshaping virtual impedance at each harmonic frequency to negative value can also compensate the harmonic voltage drop on the high impedance cable and improve the voltage quality at the PCC.

Application of micropolar fluid model to blood flow through catheterized artery with stenosis and thrombosis

This paper presents a model of nonisothermal blood flow through a diseased arterial segment due to the presence of stenosis and thrombosis. The rheological properties of the blood in the annulus are captured by utilizing micropolar fluid model. The equation describing the blood flow and heat transfer is developed under the assumption that stenosis growth into the lumen of the artery is small as compared to the average radius of the artery. Biological processes like intimal proliferation of cells or changes in artery caliber may be activated by small growths that cause moderate stenotic blockages. Closed-form solutions for temperature, velocity, resistance impedance and wall shear stress are obtained and then utilized to estimate the impact of various physical parameters on micropolar blood flow. Graphs are plotted to illustrate variations in temperature, velocity, shear stress at the wall and resistance impedance against different controlling parameters. The results are also validated via the bvp4c approach.

Comparative study on carbon corrosion characteristics of gas diffusion layer in PEMFCs under two accelerated stress tests

As a key component of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, the durability of gas diffusion layer (GDL) is directly related to the overall life of fuel cell. Carbon corrosion is a critical factor influencing the durability of GDL, damaging its pore structure and reducing its hydrophobicity, thus affecting the internal water management of fuel cells. At present, although there are many accelerated stress testing (AST) methods for studying carbon corrosion, there is a lack of indicators between these methods to comprehensively compare and analyze the corrosion of GDL. Herein, two ASTs, i.e., steady-state durability testing at a constant-potential of 1.4 V (vs. RHE) and dynamic testing of a voltage triangular-wave of 1–1.5 V (vs. RHE), are used to assess the durability of cathode GDL. The results reveal that the variation rates of pore volume and hydrophobicity of GDL after 6000 cycles of triangular-wave AST are faster than those after 24 hours of constant-potential AST. By comparing the variation rates of oxygen mass transfer resistance and mass transfer impedance (Rmt) of GDL, it is found that the corrosion rate of triangular-wave AST is 6.75 times higher than that of constant-potential AST under the same corrosion degree.

VSG‐controlled parallel‐connected voltage‐source converters in low‐voltage microgrid with dominant resistive impedance

AbstractThis paper deals with the control and performance improvement of parallel‐operated voltage‐source inverters (VSIs) controlled as virtual synchronous generators (VSGs). In publications regarding the parallel‐operated VSGs, transmission lines are considered to be mainly inductive. However, less analytical works have been done regarding the control of paralleled VSGs in low‐voltage grids with dominant resistive impedances. Once VSIs are controlled as VSGs in a microgrid with more resistive transmission lines, swing equation and system representation for the power‐angle synchronization will change leading to a new control structure. Therefore, this paper deals with the control of parallel‐operated converter‐based VSGs in low‐voltage grids with dominant resistive line impedances. In this way, the VSG representation, comprising the swing equation and V‐P droop characteristic, for applications in highly resistive microgrids is presented, in which the swing equation and VSG frequency are related to reactive power. Then, the V‐P droop characteristic is modified and an enhanced P‐V droop characteristic for proper sharing of active power between the VSGs in highly resistive microgrids is proposed. Next, the VSG control is modified so that the R/X ratio at the VSG output increases and thus the decoupled control of active/reactive powers in relatively inductive cases is realized as well.

An experimental and simulation screening of X-65 steel weldment corrosion in high flow rate conditions

Over many decades, the oil and gas industry has encountered significant challenges due to weldment corrosion. The issue of internal-pipeline local corrosion at the welded joint region has garnered significant concern, especially due to the combined impact of high shear stress and electrochemical corrosion. This combination can lead to pipeline rupture with relative ease. Hence, a new approach to screen the flow corrosion of X-65 steel via electrochemical methods, predicting fluid shear stress and velocity using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation is positively tested and presented here. For that, the X-65 steel specimens were cut/designed as the inner, centre, and outer electrodes of the target to analyse the Weld Metal (WM), Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), and Parent Metal (PM). Electrochemical screening was carried out simultaneously at a flow of 10 m/s using a brine solution saturated with CO2. The PM and HAZ will corrode less than the WM, in some cases at 30–23% of the rate of the WM. Thus in an environment of uninhibited brine saturated with CO2 at 10 m/s, preferential weld corrosion (PWC) is expected to occur. In addition, the surface morphology screening (scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive x-ray analysis, X-Ray diffraction, focus ion beam, raman spectroscopy) was employed to monitor the corrosion damage on the metal surface and also to support the electrochemical measurements (linear polarization resistance, galvanic measurement, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy).

Unraveling the structure-property relationship of pyrimidine-derivatives as CO2 corrosion inhibitors: Experimental and periodic DFT investigations

CO2-containing environments commonly cause corrosion of carbon steel (CS) pipelines used in the oil and gas industry. In this work, the inhibition of corrosion by three derivatives of pyrimidine, namely 2-mercaptopyrimidine (MPY), 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine (HMMP), and 4,5-Diamino-2,6-dimercaptopyrimidine (DDMP) for C1018 CS in CO2 saturated 3.5% NaCl brine was investigated. The corrosion rates and inhibition efficiency were investigated at 25 and 70 °C using open circuit potential, linear polarization resistance, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance measurements. The post-immersion surface characterization of the exposed C1018 CS with and without the three molecules was carried out using SEM and 3D surface optical profilometer. Theoretical computation using DFT was further utilized to examine the role of the molecular structures and the mechanism of inhibition of the three molecules on steel surface at the atomic level. The experimental results indicate the following order of inhibition efficiency: MPY > DDMP > HMMP. Our experimental work proved that MPY molecule (the smaller one with the least number of heteroatoms) as the most efficient corrosion inhibitor. Surface characterization analysis confirmed the order of inhibition efficiency. The theoretical results revealed that the stability of molecules adsorbed on Fe (110) surface in the parallel orientation and on FeCO3 (104) is identical on both surfaces, which is completely consistent with the experiment. Our study provides a feasible strategy for developing new corrosion inhibitors by understanding how similar organic inhibitors work.

Boosting the performance of low‐cost eco‐friendly pyramidal absorbers with a Salisbury screen

AbstractInstead of using expensive highly performing conventional pyramidal absorbers, in some cases, the use of absorbers based on very cheap eco‐friendly materials is an attractive alternative. The authors introduce a novel technique to improve the absorption bandwidth of these intrinsically low‐quality absorbers by adding a Salisbury screen at the base of the pyramidal absorber, which adds two extra design parameters. The first is the resistive sheet surface impedance, and the second is the resonance frequency of the Salisbury screen. By tuning these two parameters, better impedance matching can be obtained. This is verified with the help of a transmission line model, full‐wave simulations, and measurements. The method is applied to two different lower‐quality absorbers found in the literature. In the first absorber, the operating bandwidth is increased at the lower frequency side by 40%, and in the second one, this is about 90%. Finally, a prototype of an eco‐friendly combined absorber is designed and fabricated. The measurement validates the expected behaviour.

Influence of fault impedance on voltage quality in radial distribution systems with distributed synchronous generator: a sensitivity analysis

The power quality delivered to final consumers has deserved special attention on the part of the scientific community due to the increasing deterioration of voltage and current waveforms as a result of use of non-linear loads. Deployment of Distributed Generation Power is expected to have a range of effects (positive or negative) on the distribution grid. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of voltage quality of a radial distribution system located in Guarulhos, Brazil, in a presence of a distributed synchronous generator in one of its bars. The sensitive analysis is done by varying the resistive fault impedance by considering the occurrence of different types of faults due to atmospheric discharging. The system is modelled and simulated in time domain through ATP software. It was verified that the impacts caused by the symmetrical and asymmetric faults on voltage levels are attenuated as the resistive fault impedance increases.

Biological structural study of emerging shaped nanoparticles for the blood flow in diverging tapered stenosed arteries to see their application in drug delivery

The magnetic force effects and differently shaped nano-particles in diverging tapering arteries having stenoses are being studied in current research via blood flow model. There hasn’t been any research done on using metallic nanoparticles of different shapes with water as the base fluid. A radially symmetric but axially non-symmetric stenosis is used to depict the blood flow. Another significant aspect of our research is the study of symmetrical distribution of wall shearing stresses in connection with resistive impedance, as well as the rise of these quantities with the progression of stenosis. Shaping nanoparticles in accordance with the understanding of blood flow in arteries offers numerous possibilities for improving drug delivery, targeted therapies, and diagnostic imaging in the context of cardiovascular and other vascular-related diseases. Exact solutions for different flow quantities namely velocity, temperature, resistance impedance, boundary shear stress, and shearing stress at the stenosis throat, have been assessed. For various parameters of relevance for Cu-water, the graphical results of several types of tapered arteries (i.e. diverging tapering) have been explored.
