The present study investigates the combined influence of the nanoparticles and uniform magnetic field applied on the slip blood flow. Blood conveyed through the hollow arterial tube is described as a third-grade non-Newtonian fluid with time dependent viscosity and formulated by the second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Therefore, the regular perturbation method as an approximate analytical method can be applied providing a solution to the coupled system of equations. The results obtained from the solution are used to show the effect of parameters including the magnetic parameter, the viscous dissipation and the pressure gradient on the slip blood flow. Analytical results reveal augmentation of the pressure gradient and the magnetic parameter decrease the velocity value whilst the viscous dissipation augmentation increases the temperature. Also, the comparison between the analytical results with the results obtained from numerical solution shows the good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
