MHD oscillatory channel flow, heat and mass transfer in a physiological fluid in presence of chemical reaction

Abstract

In the present paper, the problem of oscillatory MHD flow of blood in a porous arteriole in presence of chemical reaction and an external magnetic field has been investigated. Heat and mass transfer during arterial blood flow are also studied. A mathematical model is developed and analyzed by using appropriate mathematical techniques. Expressions for the velocity profile, volumetric flow rate, wall shear stress and rates of heat and mass transfer have been obtained. Variations of the said quantities with different parameters are computed by using MATHEMATICA software. The quantitative estimates are presented through graphs and table.
