TY - JOUR TI - Influence of mixed convection on blood flow of Jeffrey fluid through a tapered stenosed artery AU - Akbar Noreen Sher AU - Hayat Tasawar AU - Nadeem Sohail D AU - Hendi Awatif A JN - Thermal Science PY - 2013 VL - 17 IS - 2 SP - 533 EP - 546 PT - Article AB - Effect of heat and mass transfer on the blood flow through a tapered artery with stenosis is examined assuming blood as Jeffrey fluid. The governing equations have been modelled in cylindrical coordinates. Series solutions are constructed for the velocity, temperature, concentration, resistance impedance, wall shear stress and shearing stress at the stenosis throat. Attention has been mainly focused to the analysis of embedded parameters in converging, diverging and non-tapered situations.
